PREFACE. 


The  main  object  of  this  work  is  to  present  to  the  world  the  statistics  and 
localities  of  the  Baptist  Churches  in  America. 

These  churches  being  independent,  united  simply  by  the  fellowship  of  a 
common  faith,  and  not  by  any  inter-ecclesiastical  government,  recognizing 
no  central  synod  or  assembly  to  which  reports  are  due,  it  has  not  been  easy 
to  gather  returns  from  every  part  of  our  wide  land. 

The  Associations  being  formed  of  churches  so  contiguous  as  to  be  able  to 
correspond  freely  and  to  meet  by  delegations  annually,  compile  and  publish 
their  own  minutes  and  statistics  mainly  for  the  information  of  their  own 
constituents.  The  returns  must  therefore  be  generally  accurate,  as  they 
are  reported  by  each  church  every  year,  and  printed  for  distribution  among 
the  churches  so  reporting.  This  accounts,  too,  for  the  imperfection  in  some 
particulars  of  many  of  these  minutes.  The  counties,  post-offices,  dates,  &c, 
are  so  well  known  to  most  within  the  Associational  bounds,  that  the  import- 
ance of  printing  them  each  year  does  not  appear  to  the  compilers.  But  it 
should  be  remembered  that  these  documents  are  of  interest  to  others,  and 
that  therefore  every  item  should  be  given,  which  is  necessary  to  inform 
strangers  of  their  localities  and  condition,  and  to  enhance  their  value  as 
materials  from  which  the  statistics  of  the  whole  denomination  are  to  be 
gathered,  and  its  history  compiled.  These  minutes,  bound  in  volumes,  are 
preserved  for  future  reference  and  use,  in  the  Library  of  the  American 
Baptist  Publication  Society.  Wherever  we  fail,  therefore,  in  obtaining 
all  the  minutes  of  a  State,  we  have  imperfect  returns  for  the  General 
Register  and  an  imperfect  volume  in  our  library.  The  officers  of  the 
several  Associations  will  thus  see  the  importance  of  forwarding  to  us  at  least 

(3) 


4  PREFACE. 

two  copies  of  their  minutes,  one  for  use  in  compiling  the  Register,  and  one 
to  be  bound  up  in  the  volumes  for  the  library. 

With  much  toil  and  cost,  after  a  voluminous  and  protracted  corre- 
spondence, extending  to  every  State  and  Territory,  the  information  in  the 
following  pages  has  been  collected  and  arranged,  and  is  now  submitted  to 
the  public.  It  is  not  complete ;  but  it  is  fuller  and  more  accurate  than 
any  previous  work  of  a  similar  character.  The  Registers  of  Rev.  John 
Asplund,  published  in  1796, — of  Rev.  D.  Benedict,  in  1813, — of  Rev. 
I.  M.  Allen,  in  1833  and  1836, — are  the  only  works  that  purport  to  give 
the  detailed  statistics  of  the  denomination.  Summaries  have  been  prepared 
by  Rev.  D.  Benedict  in  his  later  work,  and  by  the  compilers  of  the  Baptist 
Almanac  from  year  to  year.  These  works  have  been  prepared  with  great 
labor,  and  we  owe  much  to  the  excellent  men  who  have  patiently  toiled  to 
gather  and  publish  them. 

Still  we  now  have  advantages  in  the  cheap  and  extended  postage  system, 
in  the  facilities  of  rapid  intercourse,  and  in  the  growing  conviction  of  the 
importance  of  such  a  work,  which  our  predecessors  in  this  department  of 
labor  did  not  possess.  We  have  made  the  best  use  of  these  advantages 
we  could. 

That  there  are  omissions  and  deficiencies  we  know ;  that  there  are  some 
errors  we  fear.  We  have  succeeded  in  obtaining  most  of  the  minutes  of 
Associations,  and  of  the  reports  and  catalogues  of  other  bodies  connected 
with  the  Baptist  denomination  for  1851 ;  and  whatever  defects  a  rigid  criti- 
cism may  discover  are  mainly  attributable  to  the  partial  and  imperfect 
returns  of  these  printed  documents. 

The  Editor  would  say,  in  the  language  of  Rev.  Morgan  Edwards,  in  the 
preface  of  his  rare  little  volume  entitled  "  Materials  towards  a  history  of  the 
American  Baptists/'  "  whereof  there  are  on  this  continent  about  300  churches, 
including  German  Baptists/'  published  in  1770 :  "  As  to  apologies  for  the 
work  itself  he  will  not  attempt  any,  being  firmly  of  opinion  that  if  he  should 
lose  any  reputation  by  it,  he  cannot  lose  it  in  a  better  way,  than  in  endear 
voring  to  promote  the  Baptist  interest,  which,  in  his  judgment,  is  the 
interest  of  Christ,  above  any  in  Christendom.  Whoever  finds  fault  with  the 
performance  will  thereby  intimate  that  he  is  able  to  supply  its  defects  and 
correct  its  errors;  and  if  he  will  do  both  or  either,  the  author  would  bo  well 
pleased  should  every  reader  be  a  fault  finder." 


PREFACE.  O 

In  many  instances  we  have  succeeded,  by  private  correspondence,  in  ob- 
taining the  information  necessary  for  filling  up  the  tables  that  were  published 
in  an  imperfect  state. 

To  the  friends  in  all  sections  of  the  country  who  have  kindly  aided 
us,  by  forwarding  minutes,  catalogues,  reports,  &c,  who  have  sent 
us  letters  containing  fuller  information  than  the  minutes  furnished, 
who  have  written  sketches  of  State  Conventions,  Literary  Institutions, 
&c,  we  take  this  method  of  expressing  our  grateful  thanks.  The 
names  of  some  of  these  will  appear  in  the  volume  in  connection  with 
the  articles  they  have  prepared,  and  by  which  the  value  of  the  volume 
is  enhanced.  We  regret  that  some  to  whom  we  applied  for  sketches 
of  State  or  general  organizations,  Colleges,  _&c.;  have  not  found  the  leisure 
or  disposition  to  respond. 

The  engravings  of  Church  buildings,  Colleges,  and  Schools,  which  orna- 
ment the  volume,  are  presented  as  good  specimens  both  of  elegant  and 
therefore  costly,  and  of  neat  though  cheap,  architecture.  The  expense  of 
these  engravings  has  been  defrayed  by  the  friends  who  consented  to  their 
insertion,  the  blocks  having  been  prepared  for  their  own  use,  and  duplicates 
given  to  the  Publication  Society.  This  plan  will  be  continued  in  future 
volumes.  A  Committee  of  the  Society  will  procure  engravings  of  this  kind, 
for  any  desiring  them,  sending  the  blocks  to  their  direction,  and  the  only 
compensation  asked,  will  be  the  privilege  of  retaining  an  electrotyped  dupli- 
cate for  the  use  of  the  Society. 

The  Register  purports  to  present  the  statistics  of  the,  churches  for  the 
year  1851.  In  some  instances,  where  no  minutes  for  that  year  could  be 
obtained,  or  where  churches  have  failed  to  report,  the  totals  of  the  previous 
year  have  been  inserted.  In  a  few  cases  the  names  and  statistics  of  churches 
organized  in  1852  have  been  given.  These  variations  are  very  few.  The 
returns  of  1851  form  the  basis  of  the  work. 

Whether  subsequent  volumes  of  a  similar  character  shall  be  published  by 
the  Society,  depends  upon  the  favor  with  which  the  present  is  received.  If 
in  this  department  of  publication  they  can  serve  the  denomination  without 
pecuniary  loss,  their  sense  of  its  worth  and  importance  will  prompt  the 
Board  of  Managers  to  make  arrangements  for  an  annual  Register.  But 
they  cannot  feel  justified  in  using  the  funds  entrusted  to  them,  for  such 
a  purpose,  if  any  loss  should  ensue.     If  it  is  as  valuable  as  the  Managers 


b  PREFACE. 

hope,  it  will  pay  for  itself.     If  it  is  not,  the  single  experiment  will  test 
the  fact. 

Praying  that  the  work  may  be  useful  in  imparting  gratifying  and  im- 
portant information,  in  making  churches  and  ministers  better  known  to 
each  other,  in  establishing  a  mutual  universal  correspondence,  in  inciting 
humiliation  for  failings  and  adverses,  and  in  awakening  gratitude  to  God 
for  his  kind  providence  and  favor,  the  work  is  affectionately  dedicated 
to  the  Baptist  Churches  of  America.

EXPLANATIONS. 


I.— TABLES  OF  ASSOCIATIONS. 

The  names  of  the  Pastors  of  the  Churches  are  in  most  cases  those  fur- 
nished by  the  Minutes  for  1851,  or  by  correspondents.  In  some  instances 
where  changes  have  come  to  our  knowledge,  they  have  been  recorded,  though 
the  relation  may  be  of  a  later  date. 

In  a  few  cases  the  names  and  statistics  of  churches  constituted  in  1852 
are  given. 

Where  the  total  number  of  members  in  a  church  has  been  omitted  in  the 
Minutes,  the  total  of  the  previous  year,  when  known,  is  inserted. 

The  distinction  between  supply  and  pastor  could  not  be  generally  observed, 
as  in  many  of  the  States,  where  one  minister  preaches  statedly  to  two, 
three,  or  four  churches,  he  is  considered  and  called  the  Pastor  of  each.  We 
have,  therefore,  inserted  the  name  of  each  minister  as  pastor  of  the  church 
to  which  he  regularly  preaches. 

The  names  of  churches  printed  in  capital  letters  indicate  that  they  are 
located  at  county  seats. 

II.— TABLES  OF  MINISTERS  AND  THEIR  POST-OFFICES. 

The  letters  annexed  to  the  names  of  the  Ministers  signify — 

P. — Pastor.  Sec. — Secretary. 

M. — Missionary.  Ed  — Editor. 

F.  M. — Foreign  Missionary.  Pres. — President  of  some  Literary  Insti- 

S. — Supply.  tution. 

Ev. — Evangelist.  Prof. — Professor 

W.  C— Without  Charge.  C— Colporteur. 

L. — Licentiate.  T. — Teacher. 

A. — Agent. 

W.  C. — Without  Charge.  There  are  many  of  our  ministers,  thus  desig- 
nated, who  are  actively  engaged  in  preaching  the  gospel,  though  not  statedly 
to  particular  churches.  Partly  engaged  in  secular  callings  many  of  them 
are  still  devoting  a  portion  of  their  time  usefully  to  the  work  of  the  ministry. 
We  have  not  the  information  necessary  to  distinguish  such  from  those  who 
are  in  feeble  health,  superannuated,  or  entirely  engrossed  in  secular  pursuits. 
Where  we  have  known  such  as  are  generally  devoted  to  ministerial  labor, 
and  yet  are  without  the  charge  of  any  particular  church,  they  are  designated 
as  Evangelists. 

M.  P. — Missionary  Pastor:  designates  one  who  is  supported,  as  the  pastor 
of  one  or  more  churches,  by  some  Home  Missionary  Society. 

P.  M. — Pastor  and  Missionary  :  designates  one  who  devotes  part  of  his 
time  as  pastor  and  part  of  his  time  as  missionary,  as  is  the  case  in  many  of 
the  Southern  and  Western  Associations.

ALABAMA. 


STATE    CONVENTION. 

The  twenty-eighth  anniversary  of  the  Alabama  Baptist  State 
Convention  was  held  at  Tuskegee,  Macon  County,  November  1st — 
4th,  1851. 

The  design  of  the  Convention,  according  to  its  constitution,  is  "to 
promote,  by  all  lawful  means,  the  following  objects,  viz.  :  Foreign 
and  Domestic  Missions ;  the  education  of  such  Ministers  as  may 
have  been  licensed  by  the  Churches  to  which  they  respectively 
belong ;  Bible  Translation  and  Distribution ;  Sunday  Schools, 
Religious  Periodicals,  Tract  and  Temperance  Societies,  as  well 
as  all  other  objects  warranted  by  Christ  in  the  Gospel." 

The  amount  reported  directly  to  the  Convention,  contributed  for 
these  objects  of  benevolence  during  the  year,  is  $5,322.71.  The 
Howard  College,  and  the  Judson  Female  Institute,  flourishing 
Institutions  located  at  Marion,  were  originated  by  the  Convention, 
and  are  owned  and  maintained  by  it.  A  more  particular  account 
of  these  Schools  may  be  found  in  the  "Educational  Department" 
of  this  volume. 

The  following  is  the  "  Report  on  the  State  of  Religion,"  published 
with  the  Minutes  : — 

"  With  gratitude  to  God,  your  committee  give  it  as  their  opinion, 
that  in  no  period,  in  the  history  of  our  State,  has  the  course  of 
religion  been  so  prosperous  as  at  the  present  time.  The  glad  tidings 
have  come  to  us  through  the  corresponding  letters,  from  the  churches 
and  Associations  to  your  body  ;  but  more  particularly  through  that 
welcome  visitor  and  bearer  of  good  news,  the '  Southwestern  Baptist.' 

"  Although  some  of  our  churches  and  Associations  have  not, 
within  the  Conventional  year,  been  visited  with  the  outpouring  of 
the  Holy  Spirit,  as  in  former  years,  yet  we  are  satisfied  that  revivals 
have  been  more  general  than  formerly.  The  revivals,  we  are 
gratified  to  learn,  have  been  characterized  bv  deep  conviction  for 

(13)

sin  ;  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  total  depravity  of  the  heart ;  the 
utter  inability  of  man  to  save  himself  by  the  deeds  of  the  law ;  and 
a  consequent  reliance  upon  the  Bible  doctrine  of  justification  by 
faith  in  Christ  for  salvation.  It  should  encourage  the  Convention, 
and  the  Associations  that  labor  with  it  in  our  State,  to  know  that 
the  revivals  have  been  mostly  among  those  who  have  sowed  bountifully 
the  word  of  God  among  the  destitute,  and  at  those  points  where  they 
have  most  assiduously  cultivated  the  seed.  We  are  satisfied  that 
revivals  are  now  more  prudently  conducted,  and  are  becoming 
more  Scriptural.  Ministers  and  churches  are  laying  aside  human 
appliances,  and  are  betaking  themselves  to  the  instrumentalities 
found  in  the  Word  of  God.  We,  therefore,  believe  that  the  time 
will  come  when  there  will  be  no  objection  to  revivals,  except  by  the 
Adversary  and  his  friends. 

"  Another  pleasing  fact  has  not  escaped  the  observation  of  your 
committee ;  they  are  satisfied  that  there  is  a  rapid  increase  of 
Scriptural  piety  in  the  churches.  This  is  evinced  by  a  more  strict 
attention  to  the  Word  of  God,  the  instrument  of  sanctification ;  by 
increased  liberality  to  the  benevolent  objects  cherished  by  this  body ; 
and  by  a  greater  consecration  of  time  and  talents  to  the  service  of 
God. 

"  Your  committee  believe  that  this  increase  of  piety  in  the  churches 
is  owing,  mainly,  to  the  rapid  and  gratifying  improvement  in  our 
ministry  in  spirituality  and  intelligence.  It  is  evident  that  the 
ministers  in  our  State  are  understanding  the  duty  of  entire  consecration 
to  the  cause  of  Christ  better  than  formerly,  and  are  becoming  more 
spiritual  and  holy ;  and  as  ministers  raise  higher  the  standard  of 
holiness,  the  churches  grow  to  the  measurement. 

"  Your  committee  cannot  forbear  to  mention  another  pleasing 
feature  in  the  ministry  of  reconciliation.  It  is  that  they  are  becoming 
sounder  in  the  faith,  and  co-operate  more  unitedly  for  the  promotion 
of  the  cause  of  God  and  the  salvation  of  souls.  The  old-fashioned 
Bible  doctrines  of  election  and  predestination  are  better  understood  by 
them ;  more  firmly  believed,  clearly  stated,  and  logically  enforced. 
They  contend,  too,  more  earnestly  for  the  great  doctrine  of  the 
Reformation,  Justification  by  Faith.  We  sincerely  hope  that  the 
time  is  not  far  distant  when  our  ministry  will  see  eye  to  eye,  and 
speak  the  same  thing  in  regard  to  those  doctrines  which  lie  at  the 
foundation  of  true  piety."

INCREASE  OF  CHURCHES  AND   COMMUNICANTS  IN  ALABAMA. 

The  Register  of  1812,  prepared  by  Rev.  D.  Benedict,  has  no 
record  of  any  churches  in  Alabama.  It  was  then  an  unsettled  and 
almost  unknown  territory.  The  first  church  organized  in  Alabama 
was  the  Flint  River,  in  1808.  The  Register  of  Rev.  J.  M.  Allen, 
published  in  1833,  reports  250  churches,  155  ministers,  and  11,408 
communicants.  In  1836  there  were  333  churches,  188  ministers, 
and  15,630  communicants.  In  1840,  Rev.  Hosea  Holcombe 
published  the  statistics  of  the  denomination,  and  reported,  including 
the  anti-mission  bodies,  507  churches,  279  ministers,  and  25,026 
members.  The  Minutes  of  the  State  Convention  for  1847,  report 
744  churches,  348  ministers,  and  43,283  members. 

The  returns  published  in  the  present  volume  show  that  there  are 
of  Regular,  or  Missionary  Baptists,  579  churches,  358  ministers, 
and  41,482  communicants.  Of  Anti-Mission  Baptists  there  are  197 
churches,  83  ministers,  and  8,364  members,  making  the  grand  total 
for  1851,  776  churches,  441  ministers,  and  49,846  communicants.

ARKANSAS. 

STATE   CONVENTION. 

BY   REV.    SAMUEL    STEVENSON,    ARKADELPHIA. 

TnE  Arkansas  Baptist  State  Convention  was  organized,  in 
accordance  with  a  resolution  of  the  Saline  Baptist  Association,  at 
Brownsville,  September  21st,  1848,  for  the  purpose  of  promoting 
the  cause  of  truth  by  uniting  and  concentrating  the  efforts  of  the 
denomination  in  supplying,  as  far  as  possible,  the  very  great 
destitution  which  then  existed  in  this  State.  Rev.  "William  H. 
Bayliss  was  chosen  President  by  the  delegates,  who  represented  one 
Association  and  seventeen  churches.  This  first  meeting  of  the 
Convention  was  highly  interesting.  The  aged  silver-haired  Gospel 
pioneer,  who  had  labored  long  and  hard  in  this  "  great  harvest 
field"  rejoiced  in  the  prospect  of  a  brighter  day.  The  tearful 
eye,  the  deep  devotional  sigh,  and  the  heart-felt  Amen  accompanying 
the  broken  accents  of  humble  prayer  for  the  infant  Convention, 
testified  that  God's  Spirit  was  moving  the  hearts  of  his  people  to 
this  great  and  good  work.  Liberal  contributions,  too,  were  made 
to  supply  the  temporal  wants  of  the  hitherto  much  neglected  minister. 
Seldom  are  Christians  privileged  to  see  brighter  manifestations  of 
God's  grace  than  were  witnessed  at  this  meeting.  The  master 
and  servant,  the  child  and  parent,  the  self-righteous  moralist  and 
profane  sceptic,  bowed  at  the  same  altar  of  prayer,  and  ere  the 
meeting  closed  more  than  forty  happy  hopeful  converts  were  added 
to  the  militant  kingdom  of  Christ.  Thus  the  first  Arkansas 
Conventional  meeting  closed,  inspiring  many  hearts  with  brighter 
hopes.  Rev.  J.  C.  Perkins,  who  has  recently  been  called  to  the 
"  rest  which  remains  for  the  people  of  God,"  was  appointed  general 
agent  of  the  Convention.  His  qualifications  did  not  consist  in 
great  talent  or  learning,  for  he  had  charge  of  a  family  before  he 
was  able  to  read  God's  holv  Word.  He  had  entered  this  field  alone 
(32) 


ARKANSAS.  33 

— spent  months,  and  even  years,  proclaiming  the  unsearchable 
riches  of  Christ,  without  seeing  the  face  of  a  Baptist  minister — he 
had  traveled  about  five  thousand  miles  annually  for  many  years, 
without  receiving  one  dollar  in  money  as  compensation  for  his  labor. 
He  was  emphatically  the  father  of  the  Baptist  cause  in  South 
Arkansas.  He  was  universally  known  and  revered  as  a  truly 
humble  and  devoted  Christian  minister.  Two  other  agents  were 
subsequently  appointed,  together  with  several  missionaries,  each 
of  whom  labored  several  months,  and  whose  reports  were  highly 
encouraging.  Over  fifty  baptisms  were  reported,  and  $752.28 
were  received  into  the  treasury  during  the  year. 

The  second  year's  operations  were  also  encouraging.  An  agent 
was  employed  who  obtained  subscriptions  to  the  amount  of  $1,181, 
collected  $555.10,  and  sold  dui'ing  four  months  of  the  year,  $562.36 
worth  of  books.  One  missionary  labored  with  the  slave  population 
on  Red  River,  and  reported  over  thirty  baptisms.  Several  other 
missionaries  labored  during  a  part  of  the  year  and  reported  seventy- 
seven  baptisms.  The  receipts  of  the  year  amounted  to  $763.28, 
while  the  expenditures  were  $1,166.08,  leaving  the  Convention  over 
$400  in  debt.  At  this  embarrassing  crisis  the  much  lamented 
Perkins  was  again  appointed  general  agent,  and  still  again  were  the 
anticipations  of  the  brethren  disappointed,  for  "  God's  ways  are  not 
our  ways."  Severe  affliction  once  more  visited  his  family,  and 
the  aged  companion  of  his  bosom  was  called  from  earth  to  heaven. 
Owing  to  this  disappointment  and  the  indebtedness  of  the  Board, 
but  little  was  accomplished  during  the  third  and  last  year.  The 
Board  is  still  in  debt  without  either  agent  or  missionary  in  the  field. 
It  may  be  certainly  said  of  this  country  "the  harvest  truly  is  great, 
but  the  laborers  are  few."  Many  Baptist  churches  are  without 
any  regular  preaching.  From  almost  every  part  of  this  State  the 
"  cry  for  Gospel  light"  is  heard.

CALIFORNIA. 


Rev.  0.  C.  Wheeler  arrived  in  San  Francisco  as  a  missionary  of 
the  American  Baptist  Home  Mission  Society,  March  1st,  1849. 
At  that  time  there  was  only  one  place  of  worship  in  the  town, 
(a  small  school-house,)  occupied  by  Rev.  S.  D.  Hunt,  who  had 
been  on  the  ground  four  months  acting  as  "  chaplain  to  the  people." 
On  the  18th,  Mr.  C.  L.  Ross,  having  a  private  house  in  such  a 
state  of  forwardness  as  to  afford  shelter,  opened  it  for  public  worship, 
and  Mr.  Wheeler  commenced  preaching.  On  the  27th  of  May, 
regular  services  were  commenced,  both  morning  and  evening,  and 
a  Sabbath  School  started.  On  the  24th  of  June,  six  persons,  four 
males  and  two  females,  adopted  articles  of  faith  and  a  covenant, 
and  on  the  6th  of  July  were  publicly  recognized  as  a  regular  Baptist 
church. 

On  the  10th  of  the  same  month  the  Church  commenced  the  task 
of  erecting  the  first  house  of  Protestant  worship  in  the  territory, 
the  pastor,  with  his  own  hands,  doing  the  first  work.  The  house 
was  30  by  50  feet,  and  was  completed  and  opened,  with  appropriate 
exercises,  in  the  very  short  time  of  25  days.  It  was  made  of  the 
plainest  materials,  and  put  together  in  the  cheapest  manner,  and 
yet  its  cost  exceeded  $6000,  which,  together  with  the  expense  of  a 
lot  (72  by  137J  feet)  at  $10,000,  was  borne  by  one  of  the  brethren, 
C.  L.  Ross. 

Two  other  churches  having  been  organized,  the  San  Francisco 
Baptist  Association  was  formed,  September  25,  1850,  in  the  city  of 
San  Francisco.  The  following  are  the  statistics  of  the  Association 
for  1851  :—

CONNECTICUT. 

STATE    CONVENTION. 

BY     REV.     E.     CUSHMAN,     DEEP     RIVER. 

This  body  has  existed  in  substantially  its  present  form,  since  the 
year  1823.  It  originated  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Hartford 
Baptist  Association  held  at  Middletown,  in  October,  1822,  at  which 
time  a  committee  was  appointed  to  take  into  consideration  the 
expediency  of  forming  a  Convention  of  the  Baptist  churches  in  the 
State.  A  meeting  of  delegates  from  the  churches  was  held  at 
Suffield  in  November  following,  at  which  the  plan  of  a  constitution 
was  prepared  and  ordered  to  be  printed,  and  the  meeting  adjourned 
till  October,  1823,  in  the  city  of  Hartford,  at  which  time  the 
constitution  was  adopted,  and  the  time  of  the  first  annual  meeting 
fixed  upon,  the  second  Wednesday  in  June,  1824,  at  Middletown. 

A  Connecticut  Baptist  Missionary  Society  had  been  organized 
as  early  as  1814,  having  its  origin  in  the  missionary  spirit  awakened 
in  the  denomination  by  the  conversion  of  Rev.  Messrs.  Judson  and 
Rice  to  Baptist  sentiments.  In  November,  1823,  this  Society  voted, 
that,  "  Whereas  in  our  opinion  the  business  of  missions  may  be  better 
conducted  by  a  Convention  of  churches  than  by  a  Society  of 
individuals,  and  whereas  such  a  Convention  is  now  in  operation  in 
this  State  ;  therefore  resolved,  that  this  Society  be  from  this  time 
dissolved,"  all  its  concerns  being  transferred  to  the  State  Convention. 

Forty-four  churches  were  represented  in  the  Convention  at  its 
first  anniversary  in  June,  1824,  and  Rev.  Asa  Wilcox  was  its  first 
President.  Though  the  primary  and  chief  design  of  the  Convention 
was  to  promote  the  work  of  Domestic  Missions,  assisting  feeble 
churches,  and  supplying  destitute  regions  within  the  bounds  of  the 
State,  yet  other  benevolent  interests  were  embraced  in  its  operations, 
and  most  of  the  contributions  of  the  churches  throughout  the  State 

(39) 


40  AMERICAN   BAPTIST   REGISTER. 

for  the  various  objects  of  benevolence  have  been  generally  transmitted 
through  the  Convention  treasury.  During  the  first  six  years  of  its 
operations,  the  amount  of  funds  received  and  expended,  chiefly  for 
Foreign  and  Domestic  Missions,  averaged  not  far  from  one  thousand 
dollars  per  annum;  but  the  amount  has  steadily  increased,  until  for 
the  year  ending  June,  1851,  the  Treasurer  reported  as  received  for 
Domestic  (or  State)  Missions,  $1,716.69,  and  for  various  other 
purposes  $7,092.61,  making  a  total  of  $8,809.30.  Including'  the 
sums  transmitted  through  other  channels,  the  amount  contributed  by 
the  churches  to  the  different  benevolent  enterprises  of  the  denomination 
probably  did  not  vary  greatly  from  $10,000. 

An  inestimable  amount  of  good  has  been  accomplished  through 
the  agency  of  the  Convention  in  the  Domestic  Mission  field,  partly 
by  pecuniary  aid  afforded  to  feeble  churches  for  sustaining  the 
ministry,  and  partly  by  direct  missionary  labor.  We  cannot  well 
state  the  number  of  missionaries  employed  from  first  to  last,  because 
for  several  years  no  regular  and  systematic  course  of  missionary 
labor  was  pursued,  though  quite  a  number  of  preachers  were 
temporarily  and  at  different  times  engaged  in  the  service  of  the 
Board,  and  their  labors  were  greatly  blessed  in  the  gathering  of 
churches  and  the  salvation  of  souls. 

For  the  past  seven  years,  however,  besides  the  appropriations 
made  to  feeble  churches,  a  steady  system  of  missionary  operations 
has  been  maintained — two  missionaries  (and  a  part  of  the  time 
three)  having  been  regularly  employed  in  the  State.  The  result, 
with  God's  blessing,  has  been  the  organization  of  eight  new 
churches,  and  the  reviving  and  strengthening  of  several  old  ones, 
the  erection  of  ten  new  houses  of  worship,  and  in  many  respects  an 
essential  advance  of  Baptist  interests  in  Connecticut.  The  number 
of  churches  at  present  embraced  in  the  Convention  is  115,  with  a 
total,  according  to  the  last  report,  of  16,355  members.

FIRST    BAPTIST    CHURCH,   NEW    HAVEN. 


The  annexed  cuts  present  views  of  the  exterior  and  of  the  interior 
of  the  First  Church,  New  Haven.  The  building  was  erected  in 
1822-3 ;  enlarged  in  1835,  and  entirely  remodelled  in  1850.  Its 
dimensions  are  fifty  by  eighty-three  feet.  The  interior  is  now  very 
elegantly  finished.  Heavy  cornices  and  dentals,  with  a  splendid 
centre  piece,  ornament  the  ceiling, — the  walls  are  painted  in  fresco 
panelling;  a  fine  perspective  is  painted  in  rear  of  pulpit.  The  organ 
is  so  arranged,  as  to  seem  part  of  the  building.  The  pulpit  platform 
covers  the  Baptistry.  The  pulpit  is  of  white  Italian  marble ;  and 
the  communion  table  and  furniture  are  in  admirable  keeping  with 
the  whole.  The  pews  are  finished  in  mahogany,  and  all  furnished  with 
cushions  of  figured  crimson  damask.  The  floors  are  all  richly  car- 
peted. It  is  regarded  as  one  of  the  most  pleasant  and  beautiful 
places  of  worship  in  that  city  of  elegant  church  buildings. 


DELAWARE. 


At  one  period  the  Baptists  in  this  State  were  as  numerous,  in 
proportion  to  the  population,  as  in  any  of  the  middle  States.  The 
church  at  Welch  Tract  was  organized  in  Wales  in  1701,  and  immigrated 
in  a  body,  settling  at  first  in  Pennepek  (now  Lower  Dublin).  In 
1703  the  church  again  migrated  and  settled  upon  the  Welch  Tract 
in  Delaware,  and  became  a  numerous  and  influential  body.  The 
Brynzion  church  was  constituted  in  1781,  and  the  1st  Wilmington 
church  in  1785.  These  churches  were  connected  with  the  Philadelphia 
Association.  Several  other  churches  were  subsequently  organized 
and  the  Delaware  Association  formed.  While  they  continued  in 
correspondence  and  fellowship  with  the  Regular  Baptists  they 
prospered.  In  later  years,  however,  they  renounced  fellowship  with 
the  great  body  of  our  churches,  in  their  hostility  to  missionary 
eflorts,  and  have  gradually  dwindled  away  until  scarcely  any  thing 
is  known  of  them  save  their  earlier  history. 

There  are  now  in  Delaware,  connected  with  the  old  Delaware 
Association,  five  churches,  with  an  aggregate  of  102  members. 
There  are  also  some  remnants  of  churches  in  Sussex  county, 
connected  with  the  Salisbury  Association,  and  the  aggregate  in  the 
State  is  not  over  two  hundred  members. 

There  are  but  two  regular  Baptist  churches  in  Delaware,  viz.,

DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


The  churches  in  the  District  of  Columbia  are  mostly  connected 
with  the  Maryland  Union  Association.  The  1st  church,  Washington, 
is  united  with  the  Columbia  Association,  Virginia,  and  the  1st 
colored  church,  Washington,  with  the  Philadelphia  Association. 

The  following  table  shows  the  number  and  condition  of  the

FLORIDA. 

There  are  three  Baptist  Associations  in  Florida,  though  a  part 
of  the  churches  of  the  "  Florida  Association"  are  in  Georgia.  We 
have  not  been  able  to  obtain  any  sketch,  or  materials  from  which  to 
write  one,  of  the  general  condition  and  prospects  of  the  denomination 
in  this  State.     No  State  Convention  has  yet  been  organized.

BAPTIST    CONVENTION. 

BY  REV.  B.  M.  SANDERS,  PENFIELD. 

The  Georgia  Baptist  Convention  was  constituted  in  1822  at  Ea- 
tonton,  Putnam  county,  by  Delegates  from  the  Georgia  and  Ocmulgee 
Associations.  Its  first  officers  were  Elder  Jesse  Mercer,  Moderator, 
and  Elder  J.  P.  Marshall,  Clerk.  Mr.  Marshall  was  grandson  of 
Elder  Daniel  Marshall,  the  Baptist  pioneer  in  Georgia,  who  consti- 
tuted at  Keokee  the  first  Baptist  Church  in  the  State.  The  objects 
of  the  Convention,  as  set  forth  in  their  Constitution,  were  : — 1.  To 
unite  the  influence  and  pious  intelligence  of  Georgia  Baptists.  2.  To 
form  and  encourage  plans  for  the  revival  of  experimental  and  practi- 
cal religion  in  the  State  and  elsewhere.  *  3.  To  promote  uniformity 
of  sentiment  and  discipline.  4.  To  aid  in  giving  effect  to  useful  plans 
of  the  Associations.  5.  To  afford  an  opportunity,  to  those  who  may 
conscientiously  think  it  their  duty,  to  form  a  fund  for  the  education  of 
pious  young  men  who  may  be  called  by  the  Spirit  and  their  churches 
to  the  Christian  ministry.  6.  To  correspond  with  bodies  of  other 
religious  denominations  on  topics  of  general  interest  to  the  Redeem- 
er's kingdom,  and  to  promote  pious  and  useful  education  in  the  Bap- 
tist denomination. 

In  1824  the  Sunbury  Association  united  with  the  Convention,  and 
in  1825,  $187  were  raised  and  appropriated  to  aid  in  the  education 
of  three  young  men,  preparing  for  the  Ministry.  In  1826  the  Exec- 
utive Committee  were  instructed  to  prepare  a  plan  to  provide  a  fund 
for  the  purposes  of  Theological  education.  At  this  session  the  Treas- 
urer reported   £200  received   for   Foreign  Missions:  $125  for  Do- 

*  This  third  item  was  afterwards  omitted,  to  avoid  giving  ground  of  fear  that 
the  Convention  might  encroach  on  the  independence  of  the  Churc

mestic  Missions  ;  $100  for  education  of  young  men  for  the  Ministry ; 
and  $149  for  tracts  and  religious  books.  At  this  session  Elder  W. 
T.  Brantly  was  delegated  to  represent  the  Convention  in  the  Baptist 
General  Convention. 

In  1827  representatives  were  received  from  societies  formed  from 
the  Churches  composing  the  Hepzibah  and  Flint  River  Associations  ; 
in  1828  representatives  were  received  from  3  additional  Societies  ; 
and  in  1832,  after  an  operation  of  10  years,  it  was  composed  of  del- 
egates from  2  Associations  and  14  auxiliary  societies,  the  Ocmulgee 
Association  having  withdrawn.     ' 

It  had  contributed  during  the  first  ten  years  of  its  existence,  about 
§1,000  for  Foreign  Missions,  about  $1,500  for  Domestic  Missions, 
and  about  $250  for  religious  books,  for  the  benefit  of  indigent  Min- 
isters, and  for  the  distribution  of  tracts.  About  $1,400  had  been 
expended  in  the  same  time  to  aid  in  the  education  of  15  Beneficia- 
ries preparing  for  the  Ministry,  partly  under  the  private  instruction 
of  pastors,  and  partly  in  public  Academies  ;  the  expense  of  their 
board  being  mostly  sustained  by  benevolent  brethren. 

In  1832  arrangements  were  effected  for  the  organization  of  a 
Seminary  for  the  Literary  and  Theological  instruction  of  pious 
young  men  preparing  for  the  gospel  ministry,  to  be  connected  with 
manual  labor.  This  Institution  was  called  the  Mercer  Institute,  in 
honor  of  Elder  Jesse  Mercer,  on  account  of  his  able  counsel,  and  lib- 
eral contributions  in  bringing  it  into  operation.  It  was  located  on 
the  present  site  of  Mercer  University,  in  the  county  of  Green,  and 
was  opened  in  the  beginning  of  1833,  under  the  charge  of  Elder  B. 
M.  Sanders.  Among  its  first  pupils  were  five  young  men  preparing 
for  the  ministry,  four  of  them  Beneficiaries.  All  of  them  have 
since  been  eminently  useful  in  their  respective  fields  of  labor.  Three 
of  them  have  already  entered  into  their  rest ;  among  whom  is  num- 
bered Elder  W.  M.  Tryon,  the  lamented  late  President  of  the  Bap- 
tist Convention  of  the  State  of  Texas.  Elders  T.  U.  Wilkes  and  C. 
F.  Sturgis  of  these  five  brethren,  only  remain  still  to  lift  up  their 
voices  on  the  walls  of  Zion.  A  legacy  of  $2,500  bequeathed  by  the 
lamented  Josiah  Penfielcl  of  Savannah,  and  an  equivalent  subscrip- 
tion by  benevolent  brethren  attending  the  Convention  in  1829,  laid 
the  foundation  of  a  permanent  fund  for  the  education  of  young 
brethren  preparing  for  the  ministry,  the  interest  of  which  only  could 
be  used.  This  legacy,  with  the  equivalent  subscription,  were  realized 
in  January  1833.  To  this  fund  a  legacy  of  $1,000  by  brother  B. 
A.  Hamp,  and  one  of  the  same  amount  by  sister  Martha  Harper 


5?  AMERICAN    BAPTIST    REGISTER. 

were  very  soon  added,  making  a  total  of  $7,000  to  constitute  a  per 
manent  fund,  under  the  control  of  the  Convention,  for  the  education 
of  young  men  preparing  for  the  ministry. 

At  the  Convention  in  1842  this  fund  was  reported  to  amount  to 
$21,000,  after  having  aided  22  Beneficiaries  in  their  education,  and 
at  present,  in  1852,  it  has  reached  the  sum  of  $32,000  after  having 
aided  32  Beneficiaries  within  the  last  10  years.  In  1842  the  Con- 
vention had  received  contributions  for  Foreign  Missions  within  the 
previous  10  years  to  the  amount  of  about  $31,000  ;  and  for  Domes- 
tic Missions  about  $5,000,  besides  a  considerable  portion  of  Domestic 
Mission  labor,  sustained  by  the  Associations  in  the  State  within  the 
limits  of  their  own  churches,  and  not  reported  to  the  Convention. 
At  this  period  the  Convention  was  composed  of  delegates  from  8 
Associations  and  5  Societies. 

In  1836  the  subject  of  the  organization  of  a  Southern  Baptist 
College  was  agitated  in  the  Convention,  a  location  selected,  and 
Trustees  appointed.  In  1837  these  Trustees  determined  to  relin- 
quish the  project  under  the  difficulties  to  be  encountered  by  them  ; 
on  which  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Convention  resolved  to 
connect  a  Collegiate  Department  with  the  Mercer  Institute,  and 
forthwith  obtained  for  it  a  charter  of  incorporation  from  the  Legis- 
lature of  the  State,  under  the  .title  of  "Mercer  University." 

The  Convention  in  1838  approved  and  confirmed  this  act  of  its 
committee,  and  appointed  trustees,  for  its  management  in  the  terms 
of  the  charter,  to  whom  they  committed  the  direction  of  all  its  oper- 
ations and  interests. 

In  1837  a  fund  of  $2,000  was  contributed  to  the  Convention  by 
two  benevolent  individuals,  the  interest  only  of  which  could  be  used, 
for  the  education  of  indigent  orphans,  and  especially  the  orphans  of 
deceased  ministers. 

In  1840  the  Convention  received  from  Elder  Jesse  Mercer  a  do- 
nation of  the  Christian  Index  with  its  office,  an  entire  new  set  of 
type,  and  all  its  unpaid  clues. 

The  objects  of  the  Convention,  from  the  beginning  were  regarded 
with  great  indifference  by  a  large  body  of  the  Denomination,  and 
from  many  it  received  strong  opposition.  Some,  no  doubt,  from 
hyper  Calvinistic  or  antinomian  views  of  doctrine,  were  really 
alarmed  at  the  apprehension  that  it  would  lead  to  the  encourage- 
ment of  the  sentiment  of  salvation  by  works,  and  sap  the  foundation 
of  the  pure  doctrine  of  salvation  by  grace.  With  some  it  is  to  be 
feared,   that  opposition  proceeded  from  the  apprehension    that   it

would  reflect  too  much  light  upon  their  spirit  of  covetousness  and 
selfishness.  From  whatever  cause  the  opposition  really  arose  the 
result  was,  that  the  Convention  received  very  partial  co-operation  for 
more  than  20  years. 

From  1845  it  received  increased  accessions,  till  in  1850  it  reports 
delegates  from  20  Associations  and  11  Societies.  These  Societies 
were  formed  mostly  from  the  churches  of  those  Associations  that  did 
not  co-operate.  From  the  depressed  condition  of  the  finances  of  the 
country  during  this  latter  period,  its  benevolent  contributions  did 
not  increase  in  proportion  with  its  numerical  strength.  From  the 
reports  of  its  annual  meetings  it  appears  that  its  collections  for  the 
last  nine  years  up  to  its  session  in  1851  inclusive,  were  for  Foreign 
Missions  about  $16,000,  for  Domestic  Missions  about  $14,000,  and 
for  the  circulation  of  bibles,  tracts,  and  other  religious  books  between 
four  and  five  thousand  dollars,  besides  considerable  sums  collected  by 
agents  of  these  general  objects  and  not  reported  to  the  Convention. 

It  has  never  yet  adopted  the  policy  of  representation  on  a  monied 
basis,  although  it  is  a  reasonable  policy,  and  it  is  probable  its  con- 
tributions might  have  been  increased  by  it.  Its  constituents  have 
been  from  eight  to  ten  representatives  from  each  Association  and  two 
from  each  Society,  thus  encouraging  Associational  co-operation  rather 
than  that  of  Societies. 

Its  leading  objects  of  interest  from  the  beginning  have  been  Foreign 
and  Domestic  Missions,  connected  with  the  education  of  pious  young 
men  for  the  ministry.  Mercer  Institute,  and  University  embracing 
Literary  and  Theological  instruction,  has  for  the  last  20  years  been 
the  child  of  its  earnest  paternal  care.

***  The  Georgia  Tables  were  very  fully  compiled,  and  the  MSS.  forwarded  to 
Rev.  P.  H.  Mell,  of  Penfield,  who  kindly  offered  to  correct  and  complete  them.  He 
did  so,  but  unfortunately  the  MSS.  was  lost  on  the  mail  route  between  Penfield 
and  Philadelphia.  We  have  hastily  reconstructed  the  tables  from  the  materials 
that  were  left  in  our  possession,  and  though  the  totals  are  reliable  yet  the  details 
are  very  deficient.  Editor.

GENERAL    ASSOCIATION. 

The  seventh  anniversary  of  the  General  Association  of  Illinois 
was  held  at  Ottawa,  October  1851.  Eight  Associations  were  repre- 
sented by  delegates  in  the  body,  beside  churches  and  individual 
members.  It  does  not  appear  from  the  Minutes  that  any  mission- 
aries were  employed  during  the  year  by  the  Association.  Some 
of  the  district  Associations  sustain  ministers  within  their  bounds, 
and  the  American  Baptist  Home  Missionary  Society  have  thirty-two 
missionaries  in  the  State.  Measures  were  proposed  for  engaging 
the  Association  more  directly  and  efficiently  in  the  work  of  domestic 
missions. 


OFFICERS  OF  THE  ASSOCIATION  FOR  1851-2. 

Rev.  T.  C.  Teasdale,  Springfield,  President. 
M.  Brayman,  Esq.,  Springfield,  Secretary. 
W.  W.  Watson,  Esq.,  Springfield,  Treasurer.

Rev.  N.  N.  Wood,  D.  D.,  Upper  Alton,  President. 
Rev.  Washington  Leverett,  Upper  Alton,  Secretary.

INDIANA 


GENERAL    ASSOCIATION. 

The  nineteenth  anniversary  of  the  General  Association  of 
Indiana  was  held  at  La  Fayette,  September  26,  1851. 

There  were  delegates  in  attendance  from  eleven  Associations  and 
from  thirty-three  churches,  besides  annual  members. 

Rev.  Eli  Rees  and  Rev.  P.  H.  Evans  were  employed  as  agents 
of  the  General  Association  during  portions  of  the  year. 

The  following  extract  from  the  Report  of  the  Executive  Board 
exhibits  some  of  the  results  of  its  operations  : 

"  We  have  had  under  appointment  29  missionaries,  varying  from 
three  to  twelve  months,  and  their  appropriations  from  $15  to  $100 
each.  The  aggregate  amount  of  time  for  which  these  missionaries 
have  labored  under  our  appointment  for  the  past  year  is  equal  to 
the  labors  of  one  man  for  twenty-one  years  and  three  months. 

"  They  have  baptized  515  converts ;  rode  26,069  miles ;  preached 
4,053  sermons  ;  made  878  addresses  ;  attended  882  prayer  meetings, 
and  240  other  meetings  ;  made  2,597  religious  visits ;  and  received  on 
the  field  $1,504.52. 

"  Our  missionaries  have  sustained  an  unblemished  reputation, 
have  preached  Christ  crucified  with  faithfulness,  have  been  received 
with  kindness  by  the  people,  and  their  labors  have  been  blessed. 
Among  the  churches  there  is  an  evident  increase  of  systematic 
benevolence  and  of  desire  to  sustain  the  stated  means  of  grace. 
Our  preachers,  also,  feel  more  their  obligations  to  give  themselves 
'  wholly'  to  the  work  and  make  the  preaching  of  the  cross  the 
business  of  life. 

"  Although  in  the  present  aspect  of  our  denomination  in  Indiana, 

there  are  many  dark  features,  still  there  is  very  much  to  encourage. 

Facts  show  that  we  have  not,  as  a  Board,  mistaken  our  policy  in  the 

distribution  of  our  funds.     Most  of  our  appropriations   haw   been

small,  but  we  have  thereby  given  them  a  wide  circulation.  This 
has  awakened  investigation,  which  has  generally  resulted  in  appro- 
bation of  our  plans  and  co-operation  with  us  in  the  great  work 
of  missions.  For  the  first  fifteen  years  of  this  General  Association, 
the  average  delegation  from  Associations  was  only  four,  but  for  the 
last  four  years,  it  has  been  fifteen,  and  there  are  now  at  least  twenty 
of  our  principal  Associations  who  decidedly  favor  our  benevolent 
efforts.  All  of  these  are  engaged  in  some  way  for  the  promotion  of 
domestic  missions  in  their  midst."

STATE    CONVENTION. 

BY   REV.    B.    F.    BRABROOK,    DAVENPORT. 

The  incipient  organization  of  this  body  occurred  at  Iowa  City, 
June,  1842.  Its  object,  as  expressed  in  its  published  Minutes,  to 
consider  the  expediency  of  forming  a  Territorial  Convention  for 
missionary  purposes.  Rev.  Burton  Carpenter  was  elected  President, 
and  Rev.  W.  B.  Morey,  Secretary.  Seven  ministers  were  in 
attendance,  and  ten  churches  were  represented  through  delegates 
duly  appointed.  The  session  was  characterized  by  great  unanimity 
of  judgment  and  devotion  of  purpose  to  the  appropriate  objects  of 
the  Convention. 

The  second  anniversary  of  this  body  was  held  with  the  Baptist 
church  in  Davenport,  June,  1843.  Rev.  Hezekiah  Johnson, 
President,  and  Deacon  J.  T.  Fales,  Secretary.  Eight  ministers 
were  in  attendance,  and  eight  churches  were  duly  represented.  No 
language  can  better  express  the  emotions  produced  by  the  successive 
meetings  of  this  session,  than  that  closing  its  Minutes : — "  The 
Convention  was  well  attended,  and  a  most  delightful  state  of  harmony 
and  Christian  union  characterized  all  its  deliberations.  Each  seemed 
to  feel  the  high  responsibilities  which,  as  Christians,  were  imposed 
upon  them,  and  to  separate  with  an  ardent  desire  for  grace  to  meet 
them  to  the  Divine  acceptance." 

The  third  anniversary  of  the  Convention  was  held  with  the  Baptist 
church  at  Mount  Pleasant,  June,  1844.  Rev.  Ezra  Fisher,  President, 
and  Dr.  C.  G.  Blood,  Secretary.  Eleven  ministers  were  in  attendance, 
and  sixteen  churches  were  represented  through  their  delegates.  This 
session  was  rendered  peculiarly  impressive  by  the  valedictory 
instructions  and  counsels  of  Rev.  brethren  Fisher  and  Johnson,  who 
by  their  piety,  experience,  and  devotion  to  the  interests  of  Zion  in 
the  Territory,  had  entwined  themselves  about  the  very  heart  of  the 
denomination.     It  seemed,  indeed,   a  mysterious  providence,  that 

(103) 


104  AMERICAN    EAPTIST   REGISTER. 

the  original  standard-bearers  should  thus  be  called  to  the  farther 
West  just  as  the  precious  seed  which  they  had  so  laboriously  and 
■widely  scattered,  was  giving  promise  of  a  rich  and  abundant  harvest. 
But  what  was  an  irreparable  loss  to  Iowa,  has  proved  an  inestimable 
gain  to  Oregon. 

The  Convention  held  its  fourth  anniversary  with  the  Baptist 
church  in  Muscatine,  June,  1845.  Rev.  Hiram  Burnett,  President, 
and  Rev.  E.  C.  Brown,  Secretary.  Twenty-three  ministers  were 
present,  and  twenty-two  churches  were  represented  in  the  body. 
The  session  was  more  numerously  attended  by  visiting  brethren  from 
the  adjacent  states,  than  any  preceding  one,  and  was  a  season  of  the 
deepest  interest,  which  tended  very  materially  to  harmonize  and 
settle  the  principles  of  its  future  operations. 

The  fifth  anniversary  of  this  body  was  held  with  the  Baptist 
church  in  Iowa  City,  June,  1846.  Rev.  B.  F.  Brabrook,  President, 
and  Dr.  C.  G.  Blood,  Secretary.  This  session  afforded  most 
pleasing  evidence  of  rapid  progress  in  enlightened  and  efficient 
instrumentalities  and  appliances  for  the  enlarged  cultivation  of 
the  whitened  and  imploring  fields  that  destitute  Iowa  presented 
on  every  side. 

The  sixth  anniversary  of  the  Convention  was  held  with  the  Baptist 
church  in  Farmington,  June,  1847.  Deacon  J.  T.  Fales,  President, 
and  Rev.  W.  B.  Morey,  Secretary.  Eighteen  ministers  were  in 
attendance,  and  twenty-one  churches  were  duly  represented.  The 
all-engrossing  subject  of  consideration  at  this  session,  as  it  had  been 
to  some  extent,  at  each  preceding  session  since  1843,  was  the  early 
establishment  of  a  Collegiate  and  Theological  Institution  of  Learning 
within  the  bounds  of  the  Convention. 

The  Convention,  for  the  first  time  since  its  organization,  was 
now  called  to  deplore  the  loss  of  two  of  its  faithful  and  devoted 
missionaries,  Rev.  Peter  Robinson,  of  Marion,  and  Rev.  Isaac 
Whitemore,  of  Linn  county.  They  were  brethren  of  eminent  pietv, 
"  of  meek  and  quiet  spirit,"  indefatigable  labor,  and  pre-eminent 
usefulness.  To  human  view,  the  continued  life  of  none  could  have 
been  more  imperiously  demanded,  but  none  were  better  prepared  to 
go.  The  following  resolution  may  serve  to  indicate  the  sentiments 
entertained  by  the  denomination  : — 

"  Resolved,  That  while  we  cherish  a  spirit  of  humble  deference  to 
the  Divine  appointment,  which  has  thus  suddenly  bereft  us  of  our 
endeared  brethren  in   the   midst  of  their  increasing  usefulness,   it 


iowa.  105 

becomes  us  also  to  exercise  devout  gratitude  to  God,  for  the  eminent 
services  which  they  were  enabled  to  render  the  cause  of  our  divine 
Redeemer  during  their  short  pilgrimage,  and  for  the  bright  example 
which  they  have  left  for  our  imitation." 

The  seventh  annual  session  of  this  body  was  held  with  the  Baptist 
church  in  Davenport,  June,  1848.  Rev.  D.  P.  Smith,  President, 
and  Rev.  T.  H.  Archibald,  Secretary.  There  were  twenty-two 
ministering  brethren  in  attendance,  and  twenty-two  churches  were 
represented  by  their  delegates.  The  session  was  one  of  great 
harmony  and  marked  efficiency. 

Again  the  Convention  was  called  to  deplore  the  loss  of  one  of  its 
earlier  and  most  indefatigable  missionaries,  Rev.  M.  J.  Post,  of 
Pella. 

The  'Convention  held  its  eighth  anniversary  with  the  Baptist 
church  in  Iowa  City,  June,  1849,  when  the  church  cordially  welcomed 
the  church  to  their  new,  commodious,  and  tasteful  meeting  house, 
alike  an  ornament  to  the  State,  and  an  honor  to  the  denomination, 
erected  mainly  through  the  agency  of  Rev.  D.  P.  Smith,  their  pastor, 
by  the  munificence  of  eastern  benefactors.  Rev.  B.  F.  Brabrook, 
President,  and  Rev.  T.  H.  Archibald,  Secretary.  There  were  in 
attendance  fourteen  ministers,  and  twenty  churches  were  represented 
through  their  delegates.  The  prevalence  of  the  cholera  at  this 
period  materially  diminished  our  delegations.  Nevertheless  the 
season  was  one  of  no  inconsiderable  interest  and  advancement  to  the 
cause  of  our  blessed  Redeemer. 

The  ninth  annual  meeting  of  the  Convention  was  held  with  the 
Baptist  church  at  Mount  Pleasant,  June,  1850.  Rev.  D.  P.  Smith 
President,  and  Rev.  S.  B.  Johnson,  Secretary.  Twenty-one 
ministering  brethren  were  present,  and  fifteen  churches  were  duly 
represented.  Here  again,  it  was  the  privilege  of  the  Convention  to 
enter  a  new,  and  beautiful  meeting  house,  erected  by  the  church, 
and  also  to  participate  in  the  delightful  services  of  its  dedication  to 
Almighty  God. 

And  here,  too,  the  pall  of  gloom  was  again  cast  over  our  annual 
Convention  by  the  mysterious  and  overwhelming  Providence  that 
summoned  us  to  record  the  name  of  another  cherished  missionary 
fallen,  Rev.  W.  B.  Knapp,  and  those  also  of  his  entire  family,  who 
died  of  cholera.  Brother  K.  July  1st,  sister  K.  and  one  child  the  2d, 
another  the  3d,  and  the  last  on  the  7th.  Thus,  within  one  week 
the  family  group  were  all  consigned  to  the  grave.

106  AMERICAN   BAPTIST    REGISTER. 

The  Convention  held  its  tenth  annual  session  with  the  Baptist 
church  in  Muscatine,  June,  1851.  Deacon  J.  T.  Fales,  President, 
and  Rev.  S.  B.  Johnson,  Secretary.  There  were  in  attendance 
sixteen  ministers,  and  twelve  churches  were  represented  through 
their  delegates. 

The  Convention  held  also  a  second  session  with  the  Baptist  church 
in  Burlington,  the  September  following.  Here,  as  in  preceding 
instances,  the  Convention  was  cordially  welcomed  to  a  new,  commodious, 
and  elegant  meeting  house,  the  best  of  our  denomination,  if  not  of 
any  denomination,  in  the  State.  Deacon  J.  T.  Fales,  President, 
and  Rev.  G.  J.  Johnson,  Secretary.  Twenty-one  ministers  were 
present,  and  fifteen  churches  were  represented.  The  session  was 
devoted  mostly  to  missionary  and  educational  purposes. 

It  was  gratifying,  indeed,  to  trace  the  progress  of  the  body  for 
ten  years.  From  about  three  hundred,  it  had  reached  an  aggregate 
of  near  two  thousand  members.  Then  without  a  meeting  house,  it 
now  numbers  fifteen,  and  among  them  some  of  the  most  durable,  ample, 
and  elegant  structures  in  the  State.  Others  are  in  process  of  erection. 
And  more  than  all,  the  churches  have  "a  mind  to  work,"  and  are 
blessed  with  a  ministry  which,  though  appallingly  inadequate  to 
the  necessities  of  the  augmenting  thousands  migrating  -within  our 
bounds,  is,  nevertheless,  signally  blessed  of  God  in  its  arduous 
toil.  The  scattered  sheep  are  gathered,  converts  are  made  to  the 
faith,  and  our  noble  rivers  and  inland  streams  are  all  becoming 
consecrated  by  their  baptismal  associations,  while  at  each  successive 
anniversary,  as  "the  redeemed  of  the  Lord"  commingle  in  united 
counsel  and  effort  for  Zion's  greater  purity,  unity,  and  power,  the 
exclamation  is  involuntary,  "What  hath  God  wrought!"  and  yet 
more  irrepressible  the  gushing  prayer  to  "the  Lord  of  the  harvest," 
that  "  He  would  send  forth  more  laborers"  into  this  wide-spread, 
whitened,  and  imploring  "harvest."

FIRST   BAPTIST   CHURCH,   IOWA   CITY. 


The  Baptist  Church,  in  Iowa  city,  was  erected  in  1845-6j  at  a 
cost  of  $1,300,  a  large  proportion  of  which  sum  was  collected  by 
Rev.  D.  L.  Smith.  The  edifice  is  of  brick,  40  by  63  feet.  The 
front  steps  lead  to  a  portico,  supported  by  Ionic  columns,  from  which 
is  the  entrance  to  the  Hall,  flanked  on  either  side  by  antis,  each  con- 
taining a  flight  of  stairs  to  the  galleries,  and  lighted  by  well  pro- 
portioned windows.  The  extent  of  the  first  story  is  marked  by  a 
handsome  marble  cornice,  upon  which  rest  pilasters,  which  embellish 
the  second  story.  The  basement  contains  rooms  for  the  use  of  Sab- 
bath Schools,  &c.  The  interior  of  the  building  is  finished  in  good 
style,  and  is  neat  and  attractive.  The  pews  are  well  arranged,  and 
will  accommodate  about  400  persons.

GENERAL    ASSOCIATION. 

The  fourteenth  anniversary  of  the  "  General  Association  of  Bap- 
tists in  Kentucky,"  was  held  at  Hopkinsville,  October  20th,  1851. 

Rev.  W.  W.  Gardner  labored  for  six  months  as  general  agent  of 
the  Association.     In  reporting  the  results  of  his  labors,  he  says  : 

"  Much  of  the  labor  which  I  have  performed  cannot  be  reported 
in  dollars  and  cents.  While  acting  as  agent,  I  have  endeavored  to 
perform  as  much  missionary  labor  as  I  could  consistently  with  my 
agency ;  and  have  done  what  I  could,  by  the  way,  for  Georgetown 
College,  and  Covington  Theological  Institution.  I  have  raised  up- 
wards of  one  thousand  dollars,  and,  I  hope,  induced  others  to  raise  a 
larger  sum.  I  have  labored  in  several  interesting  revivals,  and 
preached  one  hundred  and  fifty  sermons,  during  the  last  six  months." 

Seventeen  missionaries  were  employed  during  the  year.  Their 
reports  show,  that,  in  their  united  labors,  they  had  devoted  to 
missionary  labor  1342  days,  travelled  12,089  miles,  preached  1091 
sermons,  and  baptized  254  converts. 

The  Treasurer  reports,  that  $2,315.63  had  been  expended. 

The  following  are  the  officers  of  the  Association  for  1851-2  : 

Rev.  J.  L.  Reynolds,  D.  D.,  President. 

Daniel  G.  Hatch,  Corresponding  Secretary. 

F.  C.  McCalla,  Georgetown,  Recording  Secretary. 

Gabriel  B.  Long,  Treasurer. 

Rev.  V.  E.  Kirtley,  Lawrenceburg,  General  Agent.

STATE    CONVENTION. 

The  third  annual  session  of  this  body  was  held  with  the  Bartho- 
lomew Church,  Ouachita  parish,  July  19,  1851. 
The  following  officers  were  elected  : 

Rev.  W.  J.  Larkin,  Marion,  President. 
J.  S.  Cleveland,  Vernon,  Corresponding  Secretary. 
Wm.  W.  Crawford,  Minden,  Recording  Secretary. 
James  Shannon,  Treasurer. 

The  Convention  have  thus  far  scarcely  commenced  the  work  for 
which  it  was  organized,  as  the  following  extract  from  the  Report 
seems  to  indicate. 

"  We  believe  that  there  is  great  destitution,  and  a  great  want  of 
energetic  and  zealous  missionaries  in  almost  every  portion  of  the 
territory  comprised  within  the  bounds  of  this  Convention.  But 
your  Committee  believe  that  the  Convention  would  better  advance  its 
objects  by  the  employment  of  an  agent  during  the  present  year,  than 
by  the  employment  of  missionaries,  as  the  time  for  which  the  Con- 
vention could  employ  them  would  be  too  short  to  accomplish  much. 

The  following  Preamble  and  Resolution  point  out  the  difficulties 
in  the  way  of  success.  Future  years,  we  doubt  not,  will  furnish 
more  cheering  intelligence. 

"  Whereas,  we  feel  deeply  grieved  that  our  Convention  has  been 
attended  by  so  few  of  our  brethren;  and  whereas,  we  believe  that 
the  hearty  co-operation  of  the  churches  and  ministers  is  essential  to 
efficiency  and  prosperity  ;  therefore, 

"Resolved, — That  the  Secretary  of  this  Convention  be  directed 
to  send  a  copy  of  these  Minutes  to  all  ministers  within  our  boun  Is 
and  that  we  hereby  most  cordially  and  respectfully  invite  every 
brother  who  is  anxious  for  the  spread  of  the  truth,  and  who  is  willing 
to  assist  us  by  his  players,  counsels  and  money,  to  meet  us  in  Conven- 
tion  at  our  next  annual  meeting,  unless  providentially  hindered.

STATE     CONVENTION. 

BY  REV.    S.    L.    CALDWELL. 

The  first  Baptist  church  in  Maine  was  organized  in  1682,  in 
Kittery,  a  town  at  the  southwest  angle  of  the  State,  while  it  was  yet 
a  Province  of  Massachusetts.  In  less  than  a  year  it  was  dissolved, 
owing  to  the  persecutions  of  the  civil  authorities,  most  of  the  mem- 
bers emigrating  to  Cooper  River  in  South  Carolina,  where  its 
minister,  Wm.  Screven,  formed  the  first  Baptist  church,  that  in 
Charleston.  The  second  church  was  not  formed  till  eighty-six  years 
later,  (1768)  at  Berwick,  originally  a  part  of  the  same  town  of 
Kittery.  The  first  ordination  of  a  Baptist  minister  took  place  there 
in  1776. 

The  first  association,  the  York,  was  formed  in  1785,  containing 
five  churches  in  Maine,  with  four  ministers.  The  Bowdoinham 
Association  was  formed  in  1787,  with  three  churches,  containing 
one  hundred  and  eighty-three  members. 

The  germ  of  the  Maine  Missionary  Society  is  found  in  the  plan 
adopted  by  the  Bowdoinham  Association  in  1789,  which  bound  each 
minister  to  preach  to  destitute  churches  on  specified  Sabbaths  during 
the  year.  Ten  years  after,  this  developed  itself  into  what  was  known 
as  the  "  Gospel  Mission,"  which,  continuing  these  voluntary  labors, 
also  provided  an  itinerant  missionary  for  destitute  parts  of  the  State. 

In  1804  this  developed  itself  yet  further  into  an  organized  body 
of  wider  compass,  called  the  Maine  Missionary  Society.  It  was 
formed  at  Readfielcl,  with  Rev.  Sylvanus  Boardman,  father  of  the 
heroic  missionary  to  the  Karens,  for  its  first  President. 

In  1824  the  Baptist  Convention  of  the  State  of  Maine  was  formed, 
and  in  the  next  year,  leaving  the  Missionary  Society  still  in  exist- 
ence, undertook  its  work.  In  1842  the  Convention  transferred  back 
to  the  Missionary  Society  this  enterprise ;  which  the  latter  has  been 
pushing  forward  with  increased  force,  while  the  former,  composed  of 
all  ordained  ministers,  and  one  lay  messenger  from  each  church  in

the  State,  lias  for  its  objects,  "  to  concentrate  our  influence  in  the 
cause  of  Christ,  to  cultivate  Christian  acquaintance,  to  communicate 
intelligence  respecting  the  state  of  religion  in  the  churches,  and  to 
gather  statistics  of  the  denomination." 

For  the  last  six  years  the  operations  of  the  Missionary  Society 
have  been  in  the  hands  of  a  Central  Board,  instead  of  three. or  four 
District  committees,  and  thus  its  efficiency  has  been  much  increased. 
The  average  annual  receipts  for  the  last  five  years,  excluding  the 
expense  of  an  agent,  have  been  $1894.  87.  This  does  not  include 
operations  in  the  Eastern  District  of  the  State,  which  are  in  the 
hands  of  a  local  conference.  Affiliated  with  these  bodies  is  the  Maine 
Education  Society,  formed  in  1830,  whose  average  annual  receipts 
for  the  last  six  years  have  been  $244.  50. 

The  growth  of  the  denomination  for  the  last  six  decades  is  exhib- 
ited in  the  subjoined  statement.

It  will  be  seen  that  while  the  population  is  only  six  times  as  large 
as  it  was  sixty  years  ago,  the  number  of  Baptist  communicants  is 
forty  times  as  large.  The  Baptists  have  increased  over  six  times  as 
fast  as  the  population.

MARYLAND    UNION    ASSOCIATION. 

BY   EEV.    GEORGE    F.    ADAMS,    BALTIMORE. 

Maryland  had  been,  for  many  years,  among  the  States  most 
destitute  of  Baptist  influence  and  practice.  With  a  view  to  increase 
the  numbers  and  moral  power  of  the  denomination,  the  "  Maryland 
Baptist  Union  Association"  was  formed  in  1836,  avowedly  for  the 
purpose  of  "  advancing  the  cause  of  true  religion,  by  efforts  to  aid 
feeble  churches,  and  to  supply  destitute  neighborhoods  with  preach- 
ing, to  encourage  the  more  general  diffusion  and  reading  of  the 
sacred  Scriptures,  and  evangelical  books  and  tracts,  &c."  Its 
field  of  operation  is  the  State  of  Maryland  and  the  District  of 
Columbia.  To  secure  these  ends,  there  is  an  Executive  Board, 
whose  business  it  is  to  raise  funds  and  employ  missionaries.  The 
business  of  the  Board  has  generally  been  conducted  with  liberality 
and  energy.     God  has  greatly  blessed  its  labors. 

This  Association  numbered,  at  its  commencement,  six  churches, 
four  ministers,  and  484  members.  Now,  at  the  close  of  sixteen 
years,  it  has  27  churches,  27  ministers,  and  2,342  members.  Of 
this  increase  14  of  the  churches  have  been  constituted  since  its 
organization,  about  the  same  number  of  places  of  worship  have 
been  erected,  and  a  corresponding  number  of  Sabbath  schools 
established.  Eight  or  ten  missionaries  and  colporteurs  are  em- 
ployed in  preaching  and  distributing  books  and  tracts.  Although 
the  denomination  is  still  feeble  in  Maryland  ;  yet  relatively  there 
are  few,  especially  of  the  old  States,  in  which  our  increase  both  as 
to  numbers  and  influence  has  been  more  encouraging.

MASSACHUSETTS. 


STATE    CONVENTION. 

In  1802,  a  few  devoted  men,  desirous  of  extending  the  influence 
of  the  Gospel,  organized  the  "  Massachusetts  Baptist  Missionary 
Society."  Previous  to  that  time,  there  had  been  among  the  Baptists 
in  this  country  no  such  organization,  and  the  churches,  as  such, 
were  almost  as  indifferent  in  respect  to  laboring  for  the  destitute 
abroad  as  though  the  commission  had  never  been  given,  "  Go  ye 
into  all  the  world  and  preach  the  gospel  to  every  creature."  Nor 
is  it  probable  that  the  founders  of  that  society  ever  anticipated  the 
results  which  have  directly  and  indirectly  followed  their  small 
beginning.  But  as  they  looked  upon  the  portions  of  country  which 
were  then  newly  settled,  and  contemplated  the  inability  of  the  sparse 
population  to  sustain  the  preaching  of  the  Gospel,  they  thought 
that  by  combining  their  influence  and  their  efforts,  they  might  send 
out  missionaries,  who  would  render  essential  service  to  the  cause  of 
Christ,  by  proclaiming  the  truth  to  the  destitute.  The  field  which 
they  proposed  to  cultivate,  may  be  ascertained,  to  some  extent, 
from  the  fourth  article  of  the  constitution  which  they  adopted. 
That  article  reads  thus  : 

"  The  object  of  this  society  shall  be  to  furnish  occasional  preach- 
ing and  to  promote  the  knowledge  of  evangelic  truth  in  the  new 
settlements  within  these  United  States ;  or  farther,  if  circumstances 
should  render  it  proper." 

That  they  had  no  adequate  conceptions  of  the  magnitude  of  the 
enterprise  in  which  they  had  engaged,  or  the  length  of  time  it 
would  take  to  accomplish  it,  is,  we  think,  evident  from  the  provision 
■which  they  made  in  the  last  article  of  their  constitution,  "  to 
dissolve  the  society  when  the  purposes  of  its  institution  shall  render 
its  existence  no  longer  necessary."  Immediately  after  their  organ- 
ization, they  appointed  three  missionaries,  two  of  whom  were  in- 
structed "  to  visit  the  new  settlements  in  the  districts  of  Maine  and 
New  Hampshire,  and  the  other  to  visit  the  new  settlements  en  the 
(152) 


MASSACHUSETTS.  153 

north-westerly  parts  of  New  York  and  the  adjacent  settlements  in 
Canada."  The  instructions  which  these  missionaries  received  in 
regard  to  the  manner  of  performing  their  duties  were  sound  and 
judicious ;  and  the  reports  of  their  labors  show  how  faithfully  those 
instructions  were  heeded.  It  would  be  interesting  to  trace  the  pro- 
gress of  that  society  from  year  to  year,  and  show  the  results  of  its 
operations,  the  enlarged  spirit  of  benevolence  which  it  awakened,  the 
interesting  information  it  was  the  means  of  bringing  before  the 
churches,  and  the  manner  in  which  it  prepared  the  way  for  the 
formation  of  other  societies,  especially  those  great  national  societies 
which  contemplate  the  whole  world  under  the  appellation  of  Home 
and  Foreign  Missions.  But  suffice  it,  in  this  connection  to  say, 
that  the  "  Massachusetts  Baptist  Missionary  Society"  continued 
its  operations  for  about  thirty  years,  without  any  very  material 
change  in  its  constitution  and  design.  Its  original  founders  had 
nearly  all  of  them  passed  away,  and  its  labors,  instead  of  being 
diminished,  were  yearly  becoming  more  extensive  and  pressing. 
About  that  time,  the  "  American  Baptist  Home  Missionary  Society" 
was  formed.  And  we  shall  be  claiming  nothing  which  is  not  justly 
due,  in  saying  that  the  plan  of  that  noble  institution  was  conceived 
and  matured  chiefly  by  men  who  had  been  connected  with  the 
';  Massachusetts  Baptist  Missionary  Society."  That  which  afterward 
became  nominally  the  parent,  was  in  reality  the  offspring.  But  in 
accordance  with  what  was  deemed  a  wise  arrangement,  this  and 
the  several  state  organizations  became  auxiliary  to  the  national 
society.  In  1826,  it  was  thought  advisable  to  have  the  constitu- 
tion of  the  old  society  remodelled,  and  to  have  its  name  changed 
to  that  of  the  "  Massachusetts  Baptist  Convention." 

The  Convention  every  year  has  done  something  for  the  parent 
society,  and  been  one  of  the  most  efficient  auxiliaries  of  that  body. 
At  the  same  time,  it  has  been  fostering  with  maternal  care  the 
feeble  churches  in  our  own  Commonwealth.  It  has  had,  a  part 
of  the  time,  two  faithful  missionaries,  and  constantly  one  mission- 
ary travelling  among  the  churches,  preaching  the  Gospel  to  the 
destitute, — counseling  those  who  were  in  difficulty,  and  making 
peace  among  those  who  were  at  variance.  In  addition  to  this,  the 
Convention  has,  for  several  years  past,  afforded  pecuniary  aid  to 
more  than  twenty  churches  annually,  enabling  some  of  them  to 
retain  pastors,  and  all  of  them  to  maintain  preaching,  which  could 
not  have  been  effected  without  such  aid.

It  will  be  seen  from  the  foregoing  tables,  that  the  mode  of  carry-

Formerly  missionaries  were  employed  as  Buch,  ami  the  rands  paid 
over  directly  to  them.  Now  the  Convention  makes  the  churches 
agents,  and,  instead  of  employing  missionaries,  aids  feeble  ohurchea 
in  sustaining  pastors.      The  column   headed   "  Number  of  MJ

arics,"  seems  to  indicate  that  for  the  last  seven  years  but  one  mis- 
sionary has  been  employed.  He  is  at  the  same  time  Missionary  and 
General  Agent.  But,  during  the  same  period,  it  will  be  seen  that  an 
increasing  number  of  churches  have  been  aided,  so  that  a  consider- 
able number  of  ministers  are  supported,  in  whole  or  in  part,  by  the 
funds  of  the  Convention. 

The  amount  contributed  during  the  year  by  the  churches  to  the 
Convention  was  $4,217.42 ;  the  amount  expended,  $3,511.14, 
leaving  a  balance  in  the  Treasurer's  hands.

FIRST  BAPTIST  CHURCH,  SPRINGFIELD  MASS. 


MICHIGAN. 


STATE   CONVENTION. 

This  Convention  was  formed  in  1835.  It  embraces  all  the  objects 
of  Christian  benevolence  generally  patronized  b y  the  Baptists.  In 
the  intervals  of  its  annual  meetings  its  affairs  are  managed  by  a 
Board  numbering  generally  about  sixty  ministers  and  laymen. 
Besides  this,  each  of  the  departments  of  Christian  labor  and 
benevolence  is  assigned  to  an  Executive  Committee,  which  reports 
quarterly  to  the  Board  upon  their  own  action  and  the  general  interests 
of  the  department  assigned  to  them. 

In  addition  to  the  general  objects  of  benevolence,  this  body  has 
three  objects  of  a  purely  domestic  character.  These  are ;  the 
department  of  Domestic  Missions  for  the  aid  of  such  feeble  churches 
in  the  State  as  do  not  come  within  the  design  of  the  American 
Home  Mission  Board;  the  "  Michigan  Christian  Herald,"  a  religious 
newspaper,  started  in  January,  1842;  and  the  Theological  Institution 
at  Kalamazoo,  which  now  commands  perhaps  more  of  the  strength  of 
the  denomination  in  the  State  than  any  other  object. 

The  sixteenth  anniversary  of  the  Convention  was  held  at  Ann  Arbor, 
October  9 — 12,  1851.  Four  missionaries  were  employed  a  part  of 
the  year  in  the  State  directly  by  the  Convention,  in  commencing 
the  work  of  Domestic  Missions  through  agencies  of  their  own,  at  an 
expenditure  of  $325.  The  agent  of  the  Convention  had  secured  a 
subscription  of  $10,000  for  the  Kalamazoo  Theological  Seminary. 


OFFICERS  OF  THE  BOARD  FOR  1851-2. 

Rev.  S.  Chase,  Northville,  President. 

R.  C.  Smith,  Detroit,  Treasurer. 

S.  Graves,  Ann  Arbor,  Secretary.

MINNESOTA. 


The  geographical  position  of  the  Territory  of  Minnesota,  its 
natural  resources,  and  the  intellectual  character  of  its  inhabitants, 
render  it  one  of  the  most  interesting  sections  for  evangelical  labor 
in  our  country.  It  was  deemed  important  to  occupy  it  as  mission- 
ary ground  at  the  earliest  practicable  period,  and  with  that  object 
in  view,  a  pioneer  missionary — Rev.  J.  P.  Parsons,  of  the  American 
Baptist  Home  Missionary  Society, — was  among  the  first  to  enter  the 
field.  He  was  followed,  shortly  after,  by  two  others.  They  occu- 
pied the  three  most  important  villages  in  the  Territory  and  supplied 
seven  out-stations.  A  church  has  been  organised  in  each  of  those 
villages,  and  meeting-houses  erected  in  two  of  them. 

The  death  of  Mr.  Parsons,  while  returning  to  his  field  of  labor 
from  the  States,  and  the  removal  of  other  missionaries  retarded 
for  a  season  the  progress  of  the  churches  in  that  Territory.  But 
their  places  have  been  supplied  by  other  men,  and  the  prospects 
are  encouraging. 

The  following  Tables  show  the  commencement  of  our  operations 
as  a  denomination  in  Minnesota: —

MISSISSIPPI. 


STATE     CONVENTION: 

BY  REV.  W.  CAREY  CRANE,  SAN  HERNANDO. 

Prior  to  the  year  1783,  that  portion  of  Mississippi  known  as  the 
Natchez  Country,  nominally  belonged  to  Great  Britain,  but  after 
the  treaty  of  1783  it  passed  for  a  time  into  the  hands  of  Spain. 
About  this  period  a  company  of  immigrants  from  South  Carolina 
and  Tennessee,  settled  in  this  region.  It  was  the  first  Protestant 
community  formed  in  all  the  wide  region  of  the  South  West,  below 
the  Cumberland  mountains.  This  community  was  constituted  as 
the  "  Salem  Baptist  church,"  not  only  without  a  Presbytery,  but 
without  the  presence  of  a  single  ordained  minister.  In  1800  a 
church  was  constituted  four  miles  from  Woodvile,  Wilkinson  county, 
by  a  part  of  the  Ogden  family,  and  others.  About  the  same  time, 
one  was  constituted  on  Second  Creek,  and,  we  think,  was  called 
New  Hope.  In  1805,  the  New  Providence  church,  Amite'  county, 
was  constituted  ;  and  the  Ebenezer  in  1806.  These  five  churches 
met  in  September,  1806,  on  Cole's  Creek,  and  organized  the 
Mississippi  Baptist  Association.  From  this  beginning,  by  colonization 
and  emigration  from  other  States,  have  all  the  other  Associations 
in  the  State  arisen. 

The  Mississippi  Convention,  as  at  present  constituted,  was  organized 
December  23d  and  24th,  1836,  in  Washington,  Adams  county. 
Rev.  Ashley  Vaughan  was  the  first  President,  and  Rev.  S.  S. 
Lattimore  the  first  Corresponding  Secretary.  According  to  the 
constitution  "  the  objects  of  this  Convention  shall  be  to  organize  and 
digest  an  operative  system  of  measures  in  relation  to  missionary 
exertions,  throughout  the  State  of  Mississippi ;  to  promote  religious 
education ;  to  support  missionary  service  among  the  destitute,  both 
at  home  and  abroad ;  and  to  adopt  from  time  to  time  such  measures 

(173)

as  shall  be  considered  by  the  Convention  calculated  to  promote  the 
general  interest  of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  particularly  within  the 
bounds  of  this  State."  The  contributions,  through  the  Convention, 
for  Foreign  Missions,  for  the  last  five  years,  have  averaged  $1,500, 
for  Domestic  Missions  out  of  the  State,  $2,000,  in  the  State,  $400, 
for  Indian  Missions,  $800,  for  education  of  candidates  for  the 
ministry,  $200,  and  for  the  Bible  cause,  $1,500.  Many  Associations 
employ  missionaries  within  their  own  bounds,  and  raise  funds,  which 
are  forwarded  directly  to  the  general  Boards.  The  contributions  for 
benevolent  objects  from  Mississippi,  for  one  year,  have  reached 
$7,000.  The  Convention  has  rendered  assistance  to  Natchez, 
Vicksburg,  Jackson,  Yazoo  City,  Canton,  and  Grenada,  while  the 
churches  in  these  places  have  been  erecting  houses  of  worship. 
Since  the  year  1847,  new  and  elegant  houses  of  worship  have  been 
erected  in  many  important  places  where  no  Baptist  houses  of  worship 
existed  before.  The  Convention  has  been  chiefly  instrumental  in 
stimulating  to  the  erection  of  these  houses  in  South  Mississippi.  At 
its  last  session  four  hundred  dollars  per  year  were  pledged  to  sustain 
Rev.  J.  P.  Herrick  as  a  missionary  among  the  Puttawattomie 
Indians.  The  fifteenth  anniversary  of  the  Convention  was  held  at 
Aberdeen,  November  6 — 11,  1851.  Eleven  Associations  were 
represented  in  the  body.

GENERAL    ASSOCIATION. 

BY  WADE  M.  JACKSON,  ESQ.,  FAYETTE. 

Many  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  new  counties  of  Missouri  emigrated 
from  the  counties  of  Boone  and  Howard.  In  their  new  home 
they  found  themselves  associated  with  other  emigrants  from  the  older 
States  destitute  of  all  Gospel  ordinances  and  privileges.  In  their 
destitution  they  soon  sent  Macedonian  appeals  to  the  ministers 
residing  in  the  counties  whence  they  had  emigrated.  These  appeals 
became  so  numerous  and  urgent  about  the  year  1833,  that  a  deep 
interest  was  awakened  in  the  hearts  of  those  ministers,  which  led  to  a 
private  consultation,  and  finally  resulted  in  a  mutual  agreement  that 
they  would  go  two  and  two,  and  preach  to  the  people  in  those  newly 
settled  counties.  Little  did  those  self-sacrificing  heralds  of  the 
everlasting  Gospel  think,  when  they  were  making  their  tours  of 
preaching  to  those  destitute  settlements,  that  they  were  laying  the 
foundation  for  an  organization  that  would  produce  so  great  and 
permanent  results.  At  their  own  charges,  Elders  J.  B.  Longan,  R. 
S.  Thomas,  F.  Wilhite,  T.  Fristoe,  W.  H.  Duncan,  A.  Woods,  and 
others,  traveled  and  preached,  and  constituted  churches  and  gathered 
information  relative  to  the  spiritual  condition  of  the  people.  The 
destitution  of  Baptist  preaching  was  found  to  be  so  great  that  a 
spirit  of  inquiry  was  awakened  in  the  minds  of  those  heralds  of  the 
cross.  What  shall  we  do,  and  how  can  we  supply  these  people  with 
the  living  ministry,  was  earnestly  asked,  and  ultimately  a  meeting 
of  conference  was  appointed  to  be  held  in  June,  1834.  At  this 
meeting,  the  conference  agreed  to  hold  another  meeting  in  June, 
1835,  with  the  Bonne  Femme  church  in  Boone  county.  At  this 
time  the  Baptist  Central  Society  of  Missouri  was  organised.  As 
they  had  neither  ministers  nor  funds,  the  only  alternative  they  had 
of  doing  any  thing  was  to  send  themselves,  as  they  had  been  doing 
(188)

for  several  years.  While  these  devoted  and  pious  servants  of  God 
were  prosecuting  their  labors  of  love,  the  elements  of  opposition  were 
aroused  and  preparing  for  the  most  unrelenting  and  uncompromising 
hostility.  The  anti-missionary  spirit  now  developed  itself  by  making 
favor  to  the  missionary  enterprise  a  test  of  church  fellowship.  The 
liberty  of  bestowing  their  means  to  the  support  of  the  gospel  was 
denied  the  friends  of  missions.  All  the  arguments  that  opposers 
were  capable  of  presenting  to  the  sordid  and  selfish  propensities  of 
depraved  human  nature  were  resorted  to,  to  overthrow  the  new 
organization.  Politicians  were  warned  to  be  on  their  guard,  that 
this  was  the  entering  wedge  for  a  union  of  church  and  state,  and  that 
nothing  short  of  a  system  of  taxation  would  satisfy  these  lovers  of 
mammon.  These  were  times  that  tried  men's  piety.  Yet  these 
excellent  men  boldly  and  fearlessly  proclaimed  that  God  had  ordained 
and  commanded  that  his  everlasting  Gospel  should  be  preached  to 
all  nations,  kindreds,  and  tongues. 

The  first  annual  meeting  of  the  General  Association  was  held  on 
the  3d  of  June,  1836,  with  the  Bethlehem  church  in  Boone  county. 
At  this  meeting  John  B.  Longan  was  chosen  Moderator,  and  G.  M. 
Bower,  Secretary.  Seven  ministers,  and  nine  lay  brethren  gave  in 
their  names  as  members.  On  the  Sabbath,  Elder  Longan  preached 
a  discourse  explanatory  of  the  objects  of  the  Society,  after  which  a 
collection  of  $51.75,  was  taken.  S.  Wilhitewas  appointed  Treasurer, 
and  the  Minutes  show  a  balance  on  the  subscription  list  of  $17.50, 
which  is  the  whole  amount  of  funds.  Brother  Anderson  Woods  was 
appointed  general  agent,  to  preach  throughout  the  State,  and 
promote  the  objects  of  the  Society.  This  includes  every  thing  of 
interest  that  was  done  at  their  first  annual  meeting. 

The  Minutes  of  the  second  annual  meeting  which  was  held  on  the 
2d,  3d  and  4th  days  of  June,  1837,  at  Mount  Moriah,  Howard 
county,  show  a  considerable  increase  of  members  to  the  Society,  and 
was  attended  by  a  number  of  able  ministers  from  a  distance.  Eight 
missionaries  were  appointed  for  two  months  each,  and  brother  Kent 
Scott  was  chosen  general  agent.  The  executive  committee  reported 
very  favorably  on  the  success  attending  the  efforts  of  the  missionaries. 
The  Minutes  show  an  increase  of  funds  over  last  year  of  $244. 

The  third  annual  meeting  of  the  Society  was  held  at  Columbia, 
Boone  county,  June  1st,  1838.  Brother  Scott,  the  general  agent, 
had  visited  ten  counties,  attended  several  Associations,  collected 
$75,  and  obtained  $11.50  on  subscription,  and  baptized  126  converts. 


190  AMERICAN   BAPTIST   REGISTER. 

The  brethren  were  cheered  by  intelligence  of  a  great  revival  that 
had  commenced  in  Cooper  county  under  the  labors  of  brethren 
Williams  and  Frost,  the  former  of  whom  was  sustained  by  the 
American  Baptist  Home  Mission  Society.  Between  300  and  400 
converts  were  baptized  within  the  bounds  of  Concord  Association. 
May  31st,  1839,  the  Society  met  at  Big  Lick,  Cooper  county,  and 
at  this  meeting  they  resolved  to  be  known  as  "  The  General 
Association  of  United  Baptists  of  Missouri."  The  Minutes  show 
an  increase  of  members,  an  increase  of  missionary  labor,  and 
a  considerable  increase  of  funds,  and  great  cause  for  gratitude  to 
God  for  his  blessing  upon  their  feeble  efforts. 

The  fifth  annual  meeting  of  the  Association  was  held  at  Paris, 
Monroe  county,  August  28,  1840.  Many  new  names  were  added  to 
the  list  of  members,  and  the  Treasurer's  report  exhibited  a  balance  of 
$342.14  after  paying  off  all  demands. 

The  sixth  annual  meeting  of  the  Association  was  held  with  the 
Chariton  church,  Howard  county,  on  the  27th  day  of  August,  1841. 
Elder  N.  Flood  had  been  employed  as  general  agent,  and  reported 
9  months  labor,  preached  170  sermons,  traveled  in  the  bounds  of 
fifteen  Associations,  collected  $384,  and  obtained  pledges  for  $197.50. 
The  joint  labor  of  the  missionaries  was  13  months  and  17  days, 
69  persons  baptized,  and  four  churches  constituted,  all  in  destitute 
portions  of  the  State. 

The  seventh  meeting  of  the  Association  was  held  with  the 
Richland  church,  Calloway  county,  on  the  26th  of  August,  1842. 
A  committee  of  brethren  was  appointed  to  inquire  into  the  expediency 
of  publishing  a  Baptist  periodical  as  speedily  as  possible,  under  the 
sanction  of  the  Association.  An  effort  was  also  made  to  establish  a 
depository  of  our  denominational  books  in  the  city  of  St.  Louis. 
From  the  efforts  that  were  made  at  this  meeting  it  is  very  apparent 
that  the  Association  had  taken  a  strong  hold  on  the  affections  of  the 
denomination,  and  that  it  was  casting  off  all  fears  from  the  anti- 
missionary  party. 

The  eighth  annual  meeting  was  held  with  the  church  in  Jefferson 
City,  August  23d,  1843.  Sixteen  churches  were  represented,  mostly 
located  in  the  bounds  of  the  Mount  Pleasant  Association,  where  the 
General  Association  had  its  origin.  The  committee  on  the  subject 
of  a  periodical  reported  that  12  nos.  of  the  "  Missouri  Baptist"  had 
been  published.  A  collection  of  $15.10  was  taken  up  in  favor  of 
Foreign  Missions,  the  first  thing  of  the  kind  that  had  ever  beeo  done 


MISSOURI.  191 

at  any  of  the  meetings  of  the  Association.  The  amount  of  missionary- 
labor  performed  was  not  reported. 

The  ninth  annual  meeting  of  the  Association  was  held  with  the 
Mount  Moriah  church,  Howard  county,  August  23d,  1844.  The 
report  of  the  executive  committee  showed  that  nine  missionaries  had 
been  laboring  in  various  portions  of  the  State.  They  reported  84 
baptisms. 

The  tenth  annual  meeting  of  the  Association  was  held  with  the 
church  at  Columbia,  Boone  county,  August  28th,  1845.  At  this 
meeting  a  great  deal  of  important  business  was  transacted  calculated 
to  promote  the  Redeemer's  kingdom.  Very  able  and  interesting 
reports  on  the  subject  of  Foreign  Missions,  Sunday  Schools,  and 
the  American  and  Foreign  Bible  Society,  were  adopted.  The 
contributions  now  increased  to  $664.93.  Ten  missionaries  were 
employed  for  three  months  each.     They  reported  74  baptisms. 

The  eleventh  annual  meeting  of  the  Association  commenced  its 
session  with  the  church  at  Livingston,  Lafayette  county,  August  27, 
1846.  The  Minutes  show  42  churches  represented  by  their  delegates, 
and  four  Associations.  Their  contributions  amounted  to  $807.40, 
and  the  Treasurer's  account  showed  a  balance  of  cash  on  hand  of 
$741.44.  The  missionaries  reported  13  months,  labor,  and  24 
baptisms.  The  failure  on  the  part  of  the  missionaries  to  perform 
the  labor  assigned  them,  is  attributable  to  the  great  amount  of 
sickness  that  pervaded  our  State  during  that  season.  The  importance 
of  establishing  a  religious  periodical  was  presented  to  the  Association 
by  a  very  able  report,  and  a  committee  of  three  appointed  to  prepare 
a  prospectus  and  procure  subscribers. 

The  twelfth  annual  meeting  of  the  Association  was  held  with 
the  Walnut  Grove  church,  Boone  county,  August  26,  1847.  A  very 
interesting  report  on  the  subject  of  a  periodical  was  presented,  and 
the  first  move  for  an  institution  of  learning  was  here  projected  by 
Dr.  Lynd.  A  provisional  committee  of  five  was  appointed  to 
originate  an  institution  of  learning  for  the  Baptist  denomination. 
Very  able  and  interesting  reports  on  nearly  all  the  benevolent 
objects  of  the  times  were  adopted,  which  gave  an  increased  impetus 
to  the  cause  of  the  missionary  enterprise.  The  missionaries  reported 
26  months,  labor,  and  80  baptisms.  At  this  meeting  the  executive 
Board  appointed  11  missionaries. 

The  Association  held  its  thirteenth  anniversary  with  the  church 
at    Big   Lick,  Cooper   county,.  August    24th,   1848.     The  report's 


192  AMERICAN    BAPTIST    REGISTER. 

exhibit  that  a  periodical  is  in  circulation  with  1075  subscribers,  that 
upwards  of  $16,000  in  subscriptions  have  been  obtained  for  the 
literary  institution.  The  executive  Board  appointed  15  missionaries. 
The  cash  paid  into  the  treasury  at  this  meeting  would  employ  one 
missionary  4  years  and  eight  months.  The  missionaries  reported 
45  months  labor  since  the  last  meeting,  and  288  baptisms. 

A  very  neatly  printed  pamphlet  of  thirty-two  pages  contains  the 
proceedings  of  the  fourteenth  annual  meeting  of  the  Association, 
held  with  the  Mount  Nebo  church,  Cooper  county,  August  23,  1849. 
At  this  meeting  a  new  interest  was  got  up  in  behalf  of  the  German 
population  in  the  valley  of  the  Mississippi,  and  delegates  were 
appointed  to  meet  in  convention  at  St.  Louis,  the  last  week  in 
October.  The  provisional  committee  on  the  College  report  that 
they  have  located  the  College  in  the  town  of  Liberty,  Clay  county, 
and  name  it  William  Jewell  College,  and  that  the  subscriptions 
amounted  to  $00,000.  The  executive  Board  reported  they  had 
had  thirteen  missionaries  in  the  field,  and  appointed  19  for  the 
ensuing  year,  and  required  them  to  perform  65  months, labor.  There 
were  $1,035.94  paid  into  the  treasury  at  this  meeting.  The 
Association  from  its  organization  had  never  failed  to  meet  its 
liabilities.  Its  greatest  difficulty  had  been  to  find  competent 
ministers. 

The  fifteenth  anniversary  of  the  General  Association,  in  1850, 
was  held  Avith  the  Bonne  Femme  church,  Boone  county,  August  22d. 
The  receipts  were  1,049.54.  Sixteen  missionaries  had  been  employed, 
and  reported  955  sermons  preached,  and  161  converts  baptized. 

The  sixteenth  annual  meeting  was  held  at  Liberty,  Clay  county, 
the  seat  of  the  William  Jewell  College.  Some  fift}r  churches  were 
represented,  and  the  Treasurer's  report  exhibits  an  aggregate  of 
$2,118.64  collected  for  the  purposes  of  the  Association.

NEW     HAMPSHIRE. 


STATE  CONVENTION. 

BY   REV.    EDMUND   WORTH. 

Among  the  early  settlers  of  New  Hampshire  there  were  but  few 
Baptists.  The  first  church  of  our  denomination  was  organized  at 
Newton,  1755 ;  but  owing  to  the  strong  opposition  to  our  views  and 
efforts,  it  is  not  strange  that  our  churches  did  not  increase  very 
rapidly. 

In  May,  1819,  an  invitation  was  given  to  the  Baptist  churches  in. 
the  State  through  the  "N.  H.  Patriot,"  and  the"  Concord  Observer," 
to  hold  a  general  meeting  at  the  Tacon  House,  Concord,  on  the  first 
Wednesday  in  June,  for  the  purpose  of  forming  a  Domestic  Missionary 
Society.  The  records  of  that  meeting  say  : — "  Agreeably  to  the  above 
notice,  a  number  of  regular  Baptists,  both  ministers  and  private  mem- 
bers, assembled  at  the  Town  House,"  etc.  "  Elder  Otis  Robinson  was 
chosen  moderator,  Elder  William  Taylor,  scribe."  A  preamble  and 
constitution  were  adopted,  in  which  the  object  is  stated  to  be  "particu- 
larly to  spread  the  gospel  more  generally  through  the  destitute  parts  of 
New  Hampshire. ' '  The  members  were  to  pay  one  dollar  a  year,  or  more, 
which  was  to  be  expended  in  employing  missionaries  in  such  places 
in  the  State,  or  elsewhere,  as  might  be  deemed  proper  by  the  Board. 
About  forty  persons  became  members  at  that  time.  It  was  recom- 
mended to  the  churches  to  form  Mite  and  Cent  Societies,  to  aid  the 
funds  of  the  Society. 

Such  were  the  beginnings  of  organized  efforts  in  New  Hampshire. 
A  small  amount  of  funds  was  raised,  and  brethren  were  appointed 
to  fulfill  missions  of  two,  four  and  six  weeks,  in  feeble  destitute 
churches ;  and  others  were  appointed  occasionally  to  solicit  contri- 
butions. Through  these  incipient  labors,  some  of  our  now  most 
efficient  churches  were  collected  and  nourished  in  their  infancy. 

In  June  1828,  the  Baptist  Convention  having  been  organized,  and 

(207)    '

embracing  within  its  designs  the  objects  contemplated  by  the  N.  II. 
Domestic  Missionary  Society,  its  books  and  funds  were  transferred 
to  the  Convention,  and  the  Society  was  dissolved.  During  its  ope- 
rations it  collected  and  expended  about  $3,000. 

The  trustees  of  an  academy  at  New  Hampton  were  desirous  of 
placing  it  under  the  patronage  of  the  Baptist  denomination,  and  of 
so  changing  its  character  that  it  might  afford  instruction  in  literary 
and  theological  studies.  To  effect  this  a  corporate  body  was  neces- 
sary on  the  part  of  the  Baptists,  to  share  in  its  supervision.  Ac- 
cordingly in  June,  1825,  delegates  from  several  Baptist  churches  met 
and  organized  the  New  Hampshire  Baptist  State  Convention,  at  which 
time  a  proposition  of  the  trustees  of  the  Academy  was  accepted,  and 
measures  adopted  to  secure  funds.  At  the  present  time  the  Conven- 
tion appoints  all  the  trustees  of  the  Academical  and  Theological  Insti- 
tution at  New  Hampton.  The  general  object  of  the  Convention 
however  was,  "  to  combine  the  energies  and  raise  the  tone  of  religious 
feeling  in  the  denomination,  in  relation  to  the  various  benevolent 
objects  of  the  day."  Consequently  money  has  been  collected  and 
paid  into  its  treasury  for  Foreign,  Home  and  Domestic  Missions, 
Bible  and  Tract  Societies,  and  Theological  Institutions  ;  though  Do- 
mestic Missions  and  Theological  Institutions  were  objects  which  at 
first  more  particularly  engaged  its  attention. 

In  carrying  on  its  operations  in  the  State  instead  of  sustaining 
permanent  missionaries,  it  has  generally  aided  feeble  churches  in 
sustaining  pastors.  The  amount  expended  in  building  up  the  cause 
in  the  State,  during  the  twenty-five  years  of  its  operations,  is  not 
far  from  $29,500,  exclusive  of  the  $3,000  appropriated  by  the  Do- 
mestic Missionary  Society. 

At  the  time  of  the  organization  of  the  Missionary  Society,  there 
were  in  the  State  53  Baptist  churches,  3,700  members  and  35  pas- 
ters. Now  we  have  96  churches,  75  ministers,  and  SUS'.i  communi- 
cants, making  an  increase  in  33  years  of  43  churches,  49  ministers, 
and  4389  members.  At  least  one-half  of  our  churches  have  been 
aided  by  the  Convention,  many  of  which  have  become  efficient  bodies, 
not  only  able  to  meet  their  own  expenses  but  also  to  contribute  libe- 
rally to  the  assistance  of  others.

NEW  JERSEY. 

STATE    CONVENTION. 

BY  REV.  J.  M.  CARPENTER,  JACOBSTOWN. 

Those  familiar  with  the  history  of  New  Jersey  Baptists,  are  aware 
that  all  their  churches,  constituted  from  the  year  1688  to  1791, 
united  with  the  Philadelphia  Association.  The  only  provision  made, 
during  this  period,  to  supply  the  destitute  with  the  ministry  of  re- 
conciliation, consisted  in  volunteer  service.  Under  this  arrangement, 
brethren  filling  the  pastoral  office,  by  leaving  their  own  people  des- 
titute, were  enabled  to  spend,  each,  one  Lord's  day  in  three  months 
among  those  who  seldom  or  never  enjoyed  the  means  of  grace  at  any 
other  time. 

The  first  account  of  a  Baptist  Missionary  Society  in  New  Jersey 
with  which  we  have  met,  is  included  in  a  short  paragraph  in  a  circu- 
lar letter  written  by  the  late  Rev.  William  Collier,  and  published 
with  the  Minutes  of  the  New  York  Association  for  1803.  The  prob- 
ability is  that  this  was  originated  by  the  prominent  and  more  enter- 
prising brethren  in  the  Western  and  Central  parts  of  the  State  ;  for- 
when  the  Convention  met  in  1811,  to  form  the  "New  Jersey  Baptist 
Association,"  while  in  session  a  resolution  was  passed,  commending 
the  "New  Jersey  Baptist  Mission  Society"  to  the  sympathies  and  pat- 
ronage of  the  churches  there  represented.  And  at  their  Annual 
Meeting  in  1812,  a  report,  showing  the  state  of  its  finances,  was  pre- 
sented and  published  with  the  Minutes.  We  are  able  to  furnish  the 
reader  with  only  an  imperfect  account  of  the  funds  collected  by  the 
Society  or  of  the  Missionary  labor  performed  through  its  instru- 
mentality during  the  period  of  its  existence,  because  we  have  met 
with  no  published  account  of  its  doings  previous  to  the  organization  of 
the  "New  Jersey  Baptist  Association."  The  sum  collected,  how< 
(214) 


NEW   JERSEY.  215 

from  1812  to  1830,  a  period  of  18  years,  will  not  much  exceed  $1800. 
The  brethren  who  from  time  to  time  labored  as  Missionaries  were 
employed  for  periods  varying  from  two  weeks  to  nine  months.  But 
there  was  no  single  year  in  which  the  aggregate  of  labor  under  the 
auspices  of  this  Society  was  equal  to  an  entire  year  for  one  man. 

After  spending  thirty  years  Avith  the  limited  amount  of  funds 
placed  at  their  disposal,  and  the  scanty  number  of  men  em- 
ployed, in  the  important  work  of  exploring  the  State,  the  brethren 
became  fully  convinced  that  the  vast  and  increasing  moral  and  reli- 
gious destitution  every  where  presenting  itself  to  view  around  them, 
was  too  great  to  be  fully  and  successfully  supplied,  unless  a  society 
could  be  organized  on  a  basis  calculated  to  secure  more  generally 
the  sympathies  and  co-operation  of  the  churches  throughout  the 
State.  With  this  conviction,  and  with  the  fond  hope  that  a  plan 
might  be  settled  upon,  by  means  of  which  the  object,  for  which  they 
had  so  long  and  earnestly  prayed  and  labored,  might  be  attained, 
a  meeting  was  called  at  Nottingham  Square,  July  27,  1880,  when 
the  "  New  Jersey  Baptist  State  Convention  "  was  organized.  The 
friends  and  ardent  supporters  of  this  enterprise  felt  at  the  com- 
mencement of  their  operations  no  little  anxiety  in  consequence  of 
the  determined  and  bitter  hostility  to  missionary  efforts,  known  to 
exist  in  different  sections  of  the  State.  They  justly  apprehended 
that  strenuous  exertions  would  be  made  to  cripple  them  in  their  ef- 
forts, and  if  possible  to  prevent  their  success.  But  conscious  that 
they  were  influenced  by  a  desire  for  nothing  less  than  the  Glory  of 
God,  and  the  Salvation  of  Souls,  and  in  the  exercise  of  an  humble  and 
firm  reliance  on  Him  who  had  said,  "  Lo  I  am  with  you  alway  even 
to  the  end  of  the  world,"  they  ventured  forward  in  the  work  in  which 
they  had  so  unreservedly  and  zealously  embarked.  At  the  first  An- 
nual meeting  they  made  an  affectionate  and  earnest  appeal  to  the 
churches  throughout  the  State,  in  which  a  touching  account  was 
given  of  the  condition  of  many  feeble  churches,  languishing  and  with- 
ering for  want  of  the  stated  ministrations  of  the  word  and  of  the  ad- 
ministration of  the  ordinances  of  Christ,  and  of  the  multitudes  of 
their  fellow  men  perishing  for  lack  of  knowledge,  and  in  which  they 
earnestly  solicited  their  sympathies  and  co-operation.  This  appeal 
received  a  generous  and  hearty  response. 

About  twenty-two  years  have  elapsed  since  this  Society  commenced 
its  career  of  usefulness,  within  which  time  most  of  the  opposition  at  first 
manifested  has  subsided.     By  degrees  the  churches  have  engaged  in 


216  AMERICAN    BAPTIST    REGISTER. 

the  good  work  until  there  remains  at  present  but  five  Baptist 
churches  in  New  Jersey  professedly  opposed  to  Missionary  enter- 
prise. Twenty-two  years  ago  with  $659  09  in  the  treasury  the  So- 
ciety commenced  its  work  with  a  fixed  determination  to  persevere  in 
prosecuting  this  noble  and  praiseworthy  object,  until  with  the  Divine 
blessing  no  portion  of  the  State  should  be  left  without  the  Word  of 
Life  and  the  ordinances  of  the  Gospel.  There  has  been  a  steady  in- 
crease in  the  amount  of  funds  contributed  and  a  corresponding  in- 
crease in  the  efficiency  with  which  the  efforts  of  the  denomination 
have  been  characterized.  The  amount  received  within  the  above 
named  period  for  this  object  alone  is  $38,496  58,  which  is  an  average 
of  about  $1,749  84J  per  annum.  This  includes  the  amount  collected 
at  the  last  Anniversary,  and  an  annuity  of  $124.  The  whole  amount 
that  has  been  expended,  ending  with  the  last  financial  year,  is 
$36,643  91,  which  is  on  an  average  about  $1,665  63  per  annum. 

The  amount  of  labor  performed  within  the  last  22  years  by  about 
112  different  brethren  is  in  the  aggregate  equal  to  270  years  of  one 
man.  The  number  hopefully  converted,  and  that  have  been  baptized 
on  a  profession  of  their  faith  is  2,490,  an  average  of  about  113  per 
annum.  Were  we  to  extend  an  estimate  of  results  realized,  in  con- 
nection with  the  efforts  of  this  Society,  no  farther  than  what  is  em- 
braced in  the  statement  already  made,  we  should  find  abundant  cause 
for  gratitude  to  our  Heavenly  Father  for  the  signal  blessing  with  which 
He  has  crowned  the  labors  of  his  servants.  But  great,  glorious  results 
have  been  realized  by  the  denomination  in  New  Jersey  in  other  re- 
spects. Scattered  and  wandering  disciples  have  been  sought  out  and 
reclaimed ;  brethren  long  and  sadly  estranged  from  each  other  by 
imaginary  differences  in  religious  sentiment,  have  met  together,  be- 
come reconciled  and  are  now  heartily  laboring  together  for  the  ad- 
vancement of  the  Redeemer's  cause  ;  feeble  churches  have  been  built 
up  and  strengthened  ;  new  and  flourishing  interests  have  risen  up  in 
almost  every  county  in  the  State,  and  many  precious  souls  ready  to 
perish  have  been  converted  to  God,  while  the  number  and  efficiency 
of  the  churches  have  been  greatly  increased.  It  has  been  found  true 
in  the  experience  of  those  who  have  been  engaged  in  this  bli 
work,  that  "they  who  go  forth  bearing  precious  Beed,  weening,  Bhall 
return  again  rejoicing  and  bringing  their  sheaves  with  them." 
This  may  be  found  verified  in  a  remarkable  degree  in  the  case  of  the 
New  Jersey  Baptists,  by  tracing  their  history  fur  the  last  150  Tears. 

In  the  year  1700  they  numbered  only  three  churches,  and  during 


NEW    JERSEY.  217 

the  succeeding  100  years  they  increased  from  three  to  only  26  churches. 
In  1761,  the  whole  number  of  communicants  in  the  State,  amounted  to 
only  543.  From  that  time  to  1800,  a  period  of  40  years  the  num- 
ber added  to  the  churches  by  baptism  was  3524,  an  average  of  about 
88  per  annum.  During  the  same  period  the  membership  increased 
to  1976,  about  36  per  annum.  From  the  year  1801  to  1830  a  pe- 
riod of  30  years  the  churches  increased  in  number  from  26  to  55. 
Within  the  same  period  there  were  5606  added  by  baptism,  an  av- 
erage of  about  187  per  annum.  The  membership  increased  in  num- 
ber to  3973,  an  average  increase  of  about  66  per  annum.  From 
1831  to  1851,  embracing  a  period  of  about  21  years,  the  number  of 
churches,  after  deducting  13  that  have  disbanded  and  5  that  occupy 
anti-mission  ground,  have  increased  from  55  to  101.  The  number 
that  have  been  baptized  is  16,148,  an  average  of  about  769  per 
annum,  and  number  of  communicants  have  increased  to  13,517,  an 
average  of  about  454  per  annum. 

The  following  sums  have  been  contributed  within  the  last  22  years, 
by  the  Baptists  in  New  Jersey,  viz. : — $20,513  18  for  Foreign  Mis- 
sions ;  $17,519  07  for  American  Baptist  Home  Mission  Society  ; 
$6,985  40  for  American  and  Foreign  Bible  Society;  $2,270  68  for 
American  Baptist  Publication  Society;  $1,938  06  for  miscellaneous 
objects,  which,  including  contributions  to  Convention  fund,  makes  the 
sum  of  $87,722  97.  The  amount  would,  no  doubt,  have  been  greater 
if  the  churches  had  from  the  first  been  as  particular  in  reporting  as 
they  have  been  within  the  last  few  years.  As  it  stands,  however, 
it  will  scarcely  be  disputed  that  New  Jersey  Baptists  will  compare 
very  favorably  with  their  brethren  in  other  States  for  benevolent 
contributions.

HADDONFIELD  BAPTIST  CHURCH. 
The  new  house  of  worship  now  being  erected  at  Haddonfield,  is 
one  of  the  most  beautiful  in  the  state.  The  style  is  "  Norman  By- 
zantine," from  designs  furnished  by  J.  E.  Carver,  Architect,  Phila- 
delphia. It  is  built  entirely  of  brown  sand  stone,  and  surmounted 
by  a  handsome  spire,  with  clock  and  bell.  Its  dimensions  are  42  by 
65  feet ;  when  finished  it  will  cost  about  $8,000.  This  church  was 
constituted  in  1818.  For  more  than  twenty  years  Rev.  J.  Sisty  was 
Pastor.  It  is  now  under  the  pastoral  charge  of  Rev.  A.  S.  Patton, 
and  is  in  a  prosperous  condition. 


NEW    MEXICO. 


The  establishment  of  churches  in  this  Territory  is  attended  with 
peculiar  difficulties.  Its  geographical  position  is  interior  and  iso- 
lated ;  its  native  inhabitants  are  only  partially  civilized  Mexicans, 
warlike  and  even  cruel  savages,  and  a  comparatively  few  Americans, 
a  considerable  portion  of  whom  are  indifferent  to  the  religious  or 
moral  improvement  of  society.  The  prevalent  and  almost  universal 
religion,  is  a  species  of  Romanism,  or,  as  it  has  been  called,  Mexi- 
canism.  The  practical  fruits  of  which  are  to  be  seen  in  the  extreme 
ignorance  and  dark  moral  turpitude  of  the  people.  A  prominent 
element  of  the  struggle  on  this  field,  therefore,  will  be  that  of  divine 
revelation  against  human  tradition  ;  of  scriptural  practice  against 
puerile  ceremonies  ;  of  the  purity  and  holiness  of  the  Bible  against 
the  sensuality  and  pollution  of  ignorant,  depraved,  and  degraded 
human  appetites.  This  struggle  must  be  commenced  with  powerful 
odds  against  evangelical  instrumentalities,  but,  with  the  encourage- 
ments of  the  word  of  God,  should  be  commenced  and  firmly  perse- 
vered in,  as  circumstances  require. 

Rev.  H.  W.  Read,  the  pioneer  missionary  to  New  Mexico,  re- 
turned in  1851  to  the  States,  and  spent  several  months  in  labors  to 
awaken  a  more  general  interest,  and  incite  to  more  efficient  labors 
for  the  evangelization  of  the  New  Territory.  Other  missionaries 
have  gone  into  the  field  and  are  commencing  the  foundations  upon 
which  to  raise  future  churches.  No  church  had  been  organized  at  the 
last  advices.    The  following  is  a  list  of  missionaries  now  in  the  field  :

NEW  YOEK. 


STATE    CONVENTION. 

BY  REV.  C.  P.  SHELDON,  BUFFALO. 

The  Baptist  Missionary  Convention  of  the  State  of  New  York, 
was  organized  at  a  meeting  of  delegates  from  the  Otsego,  Oneida, 
Madison,  Franklin,  and  Cayuga  Associations,  held  in  the  town  of 
Mentz,  Cayuga  Co.,  November  21,  1821,  under  the  name  of  "  The 
Bantist  Domestic  Missionary  Convention  of  the  State  of  New  York 
and  vicinity."  In  May,  1825,  it  was  united  with  the  "  Hamilton 
Baptist  Missionary  Society,"  or  rather  that  society  was  so  expanded 
as  to  embrace  the  Convention,  an  Act  having  been  passed  by  the 
Legislature,  April  25,  1825,  changing  its  name  to  that  of  "  the 
Baptist  Missionary  Convention  of  the  State  of  New  York."  The 
Convention,  therefore,  dates  its  anniversaries  from  the  origin  of 
that  society,  which  was  in  1807.  It  was  formed  on  the  27th 
of  August  of  that  year,  at  the  house  of  Rev.  Nathan  Baker,  in 
Pompey,  Onondaga  Co.,  and  consisted  of  twenty  members,  and  com- 
menced its  operations  with  $20  in  its  treasury.  Rev.  Salmon 
Morton  was  its  first  missionary,  and  was  paid  $4  per  week  for  his 
services.  At  its  organization  it  was  called  the  "  Lake  Baptist  Mis- 
sionary Society,"  but  at  its  first  annual  meeting  held  at  Pitcher, 
Chenango  Co.  it  was  changed  to  that  of  "  Hamilton  Baptist  Missionary 
Society."  The  essential  features  of  the  organization  remained  un- 
changed in  its  expansion  into  the  Missionary  Convention  of  the 
State,  and  have  continued  so  until  the  present  time.  It  had  its 
origin  in  the  wants  and  destitution  of  the  scattered  and  rapidly 
growing  settlements  of  Central  and  Western  New  York.  Indeed, 
Western  New  York,  now  the  garden  of  the  State,  with  its  numerous 
population  and  its  flourishing  cities  and  villages,  was  at  that  time  an 
almost  unbroken  wilderness.  But  the  tide  of  emigration  was  ra- 
pidly setting  west.     Our  fathers  were  men  adapted  to  their  times, 

(223) 


224  AMERICAN    BAPTIST    REGISTER. 

and  sought  to  provide  for  the  religious  wants  of  the  constantly 
enlarging  field  around  them.  The  Convention  has  thus  been  in- 
timately identified  with  the  growth  and  prosperity  of  the  denom- 
ination in  the  State ;  has  been,  under  God,  one  of  the  main 
instrumentalities  in  securing  that  prosperity  and  growth.  A  large 
number  of  the  eight  hundred  churches  in  the  State,  have-  been,  in 
the  days  of  their  weakness  and  infancy,  the  recipients  of  its  bounty, 
and  numbers  of  them  are  now  among  our  strongest  and  most  pro- 
minent churches.  We  mention,  in  illustration,  Washington  Street 
Church,  Buffalo ;  Bleecker  Street  Church,  Utica  ;  First  Church, 
Williamsburg  ;  First  Church,  Syracuse  ;  First  Church,  Oswego  ; 
Binghampton  Church,  Watertown  Church,  Owego  Church,  &c. 
The  Convention  has  also  exerted  a  very  healthful  and  effective 
influence  in  promoting  union  among  the  ministry  and  churches,  in 
efforts  for  the  advancement  of  the  cause  of  Christ.  Nor  have  its 
labors  been  confined  to  the  State  of  New  York.  Northern  and 
Western  Pennsylvania,  portions  of  Ohio,  Michigan,  Wisconsin, 
Illinois,  and  Canada,  have  received  its  aid.  At  present,  however, 
its  field  of  effort  is  mainly  within  the  State.  It  also  early  had  its 
attention  turned  to  the  religious  wants  of  the  Indians.  Its  efforts 
have  been  principally  among  the  Senecas,  Oneidas,  and  Tuscaroras ; 
a  station  is  still  maintained  among  the  latter,  at  Tonawanda, 
Erie  Co. 

The  "  Neiv  York  Baptist  Register"  which  has  been  the  organ 
and  property  of  the  Convention  for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  cen- 
tury, was  originated  by  a  few  brethren  in  the  vicinity  of  Utica  in 
1824,  and  edited  by  Rev.  Messrs.  Galusha  and  Wiley.  At  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  Convention  in  the  fall  of  that  year,  an  arrangement 
was  made  by  which  it  became  the  property  of  the  Convention,  and 
A.  M.  Beebee,  Esq.,  its  present  editor,  was  engaged  to  conduct  it. 
The  first  paper  issued  under  this  arrangement  was  on  the  4th  of 
March,  1825.  The  "  Register"  has  always  been  an  important  aid 
to  the  Convention,  and  to  every  other  good  work  connected  with  the 
prosperity  and  progress  of  the  denomination  in  the  State. 

Since  1821  the  Convention  has  made  378  appointments  of  mis- 
sionaries, whose  labors  amount  to  240  years  of  time  ;  it  lias  made 
800  appropriations  in  aid  of  feeble  churches,  and  expended,  fin- 
bracing  what  it  has  paid  into  the  treasury  of  the  American  Ba] 
Home  Mission  Society,  $220,648.31.  The  largest  amount  it  has 
received  in  any  single  year  was  in  L839,  being  $19,634.70,  and  it 


NEW  YORK.  225 

paid  into  the  treasury  of  the  American  Baptist  Mission  Society 
that  year  (being  then  auxiliary  to  it)  $9,547.99. 

The  business  of  the  Convention  has  been  conducted  by  a  Board 
of  Directors,  whose  meetings  have  been  held  at  different  places, 
usually  in  the  central  part  of  the  State.  But  at  the  last  annual 
meeting  held  at  Elmira  Chemung  Co.,  October  8th  and  9th,  1851, 
the  following  article  was  added  to  the  Constitution : 

"  Immediately  after  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Convention,  the 
Board  of  Directors  shall  meet  and  elect  an  Executive  Committee, 
consisting  of  such  number,  located  in  such  place,  charged  with  such 
duties,  and  subject  to  such  regulations,  as  the  Board  may  deem  best 
adapted  to  the  interests  of  the  Convention ;  the  location  being  sub- 
ject to  the  instruction  of  the  Convention  at  any  annual  meeting." 

Such  an  Executive  Committee  was  elected  by  the  Board,  consist- 
ing of  thirteen  brethren,  located  in  the  city  of  Albany  and  vicinity, 
who  are  charged  with  the  conducting  of  the  business  of  the  Conven- 
tion for  the  year.

NORTH  CAROLINA. 

STATE    CONVENTION. 

BY  REV.  S.  J.  WHEELER,  M.  D.,  MURFREESBORO. 

The  first  effective  meeting  of  a  general  character  among  the  Bap- 
tists of  North  Carolina  was  held  in  Greenville,  Pitt  Co.,  commencing 
10th  February,  1829. 

Prior  to  that  time  a  few  churches  and  associations  met,  at  irregular 
intervals,  in  what  was  called  the  "  General  Meeting  of  Correspon- 
dence." The  constituency  of  the  "  General  Meeting  "  was  mostly 
in  the  eastern  counties,  and  singularly  enough,  among  the  members 
of  the  "  Meeting,"  are  to  be  found  the  names  of  some,  who  have 
since,  shone  conspicuously  among  the  anti-missionaries.  Joshua 
Lawrence  of  Tarboro,  at  one  time  manifested  some  interest  in  the 
missionary  operations  of  the  "Meeting,"  and  was  a  regular  member. 
For  proof,see  minutes  of  "General  Meeting  of  Correspondence,"  in 
the  library  of  the  Female  Collegiate  Institute  at  Murfreesboro'.  Let 
me  remark  in  passing  that  the  largest  and  best  collection  of  histor- 
ical matter  pertaining  to  the  Baptists  of  North  Carolina,  is  to  be 
found  in  the  library  of  the  Institute  at  Murfreesboro'. 

On  the  26th  March,  1830,  the  "  General  Meeting  "  was  merged 
into  the  "  State  Convention."  Elder  P.  W.  Dowd  was  elected  pres- 
ident ;  Elders  Biddle  and  Meredith  and  Brother  C.  McAllister  Vice 
Presidents  ;  Elder  John  Armstrong  Corresponding  Secretary ;  R. 
S.  Blount  Recording  Secretary,  and  H.  Austin  Treasurer.  The  most 
of  these  excellent  men  have  gone  to  their  final  reward.  The  "  Gen- 
eral Meeting  of  Correspondence,"  which  was  sometimes  called  the 
"  North  Carolina  Baptist  Benevolent  Society,"  confined  its  opera- 
tions to  supplying  the  destitute  in  our  own  State ;  but  the  Conven- 
tion enlarged  its  operations,  and  declared  its  "  primary  objects  to  be  : 

'253)

the  education  of  young  men  called  of  God  to  the  ministry ;  the  em- 
ployment of  Missionaries  in  the  State,  and  a  co-operation  with  the 
Baptist  General  Convention  of  the  United  States  in  the  promotion 
of  missions  in  general."  The  following  persons  composed  the  Board 
of  Directors,  viz.  :  Charles  J.  Skinner,  H.  A.  Skinner,  Thomas  D. 
Mason,  Daniel  Boon,  Samuel  Wait,  Wm.  Sanders,  Elijah  Clark,  Jas. 
G.  Hall,  Peter  P.  Laurence,  J.  Hartmus,  Jos.  B.  Outlaw,  W.  J. 
Hintoh,  Jacob  Rascoe,  Samuel  Simpson,  John  Purify,  Jas.  McDaniel, 
G.  Huckaby,  J.  Holamon.  The  Convention  elected  Elder  Samuel 
Wait  General  Agent.  The  Treasurer's  report  exhibits  $220  62  for 
Home  Missions  ;  $55  for  Education. 

At  the  next  Anniversary  held  at  Roger's  X  Roads,  Wake 
Co.,  it  was  resolved  that  the  sessions  of  the  Convention  should  be 
held  thereafter  in  August  instead  of  April.  A  considerable  impetus 
was  given  to  the  cause  of  benevolence  by  the  large  distribution  of  a 
circular  by  that  excellent  man,  Peter  P.  Laurence,  Esq.,  of  Tarboro, 
who  acted  as  Corresponding  Secretary  in  1829.  The  circular  sent 
to  the  writer  of  this  sketch  is  dated  10th  July  of  that  year.  For 
nearly  twenty-three  years  has  that  circular  been  carefully  preserved, 
as  a  memento  of  the  zeal  of  a  venerable  friend.  Nor  will  grati- 
tude cease  to  remember  Brother  Laurence's  fellow  laborers  and  co- 
temporaries  connected  with  local  societies  prior  to  1829.  In  the 
records  of  the  "  Raleigh  Missionary  Society,  among  other  names,  ap- 
pear those  of  Jno.  Purify,  G.  Huckaby,  aided  by  that  fearless 
champion  of  truth  the  late  Elder  Robt.  T.  Daniel.  Brethren  Jno. 
Blount,  Wm.  Wilson,  Jno.  Wheeler,  and  Thomas  Brownrigg  were 
the  strong  supports  of  the  "  Chowan  Missionary  Society,"  while  El- 
der Biddle,  the  late  General  Simpson  and  others,  accomplished  great 
good  in  the  "  Neuse  Baptist  Missionary  Society."  The  most  of  these 
worthies  have  fallen  asleep ;  a  few  remain  to  admonish  us  to  be  vigi- 
lant in  our  mighty  work,  that  we  too  shall  soon  pass  away  and  our 
opportunity  to  do  good  be  gone  forever.  These  local  societies  all 
ceased  and  formed  one  body  March  26th,  1830 ;  in  the  town  of 
Greenville — a  place  consecrated  to  the  memory  of  revolutionary  pa- 
triotism and  deeds  of  noble  daring — a  spot  well  deserving  to  be  the 
birth  place  of  that  noble  institution,  the  "Baptist  State  Convention 
of  North  Carolina."  Perhaps  it  should  be  here  remarked  that  the 
first  movement  in  favor  of  missions  among  the  baptists  of  N 
Carolina,  (if  not  in  America,)  took  place  in  the  Kehuki       ,  ti"n. 

on  a  motion  of  that  man  of  God,  Elder  Martin  Ros3,  in  which  he  wai

ably  sustained  by  the  lamented  Spivey ;  and  to  the  giant  influence 
of  Elders  Ross  and  Spivey  may  we  attribute  the  circumstance  that 
the  Chowan  Association,  (which  sprung  from  the  Kehukee  in  1806,) 
took  a  vigorous  stand  in  behalf  of  missions  at  an  early  date. 

The  Convention  at  Reaves  M.  H.,  Chatham  Co.,  held  Aug.  3-7th, 
1832,  was  a  most  effective  meeting.  Here  the  first  step  was  taken 
towards  the  establishment  of  a  periodical  under  the  auspices  of  the 
denomination  in  the  State.  This  resulted  in  the  establishment  of 
the  "Interpreter,"  a  monthly  pamphlet  of  24  pp.,  by  the  Rev.  T. 
Meredith,  which  was  changed  to  a  weekly  under  the  title  of  the  "  Bib- 
lical Recorder,"  in  1835.  Afterwards,  it  was  united  with  the  Southern 
Watchman,  (the  Baptist  organ  of  South  Carolina,)  and  then  assumed 
the  name  of  the  "Recorder  and  Watchman,"  which  was  for  several 
years  the  organ  of  our  brethren  in  both  the  Carolinas.  At  the  Con- 
vention of  1832  it  was  resolved  unanimously  to  "  purchase  a  farm, 
and  adopt  other .  preliminary  measures  for  the  establishment  of  a 
Baptist  Literary  Institution,  on  the  Manual  Labor  Princijrte."  Ac- 
cordingly J.  G.  Hall,  W.  R.  Hinton,  J.  Purify,  A.  S.  Wynn,  S.  J. 
Jeffreys  were  appointed  "a  committee  to  raise  two  thousand  dollars 
for  the  purchase  of  a  farm."  Thus  originated  "Wake  Forest  Insti- 
tute," which  went  into  operation  on  1st  February,  1834,  with  25  stu- 
dents. After  a  full  trial,  (as  was  believed,)  of  the  manual  labor 
plan,  that  department  of  the  Institution  was  discontinued.  In  1839 
the  Institute  was  changed  into  "Wake  Forest  College,"  with  power 
to  confer  degrees,  and  has  held  its  way  amid  the  fears  of  friends  and 
opposition  of  enemies,  until  it  has  attained  "  a  literary  reputation  be- 
yond its  years."  Perhaps  no  organization  under  the  auspices  of  our 
churches  has  done  so  much  to  elevate  the  character  of  the  Baptists 
of  North  Carolina  among  intelligent  men  as  has  Wake  Forest  Col- 
lege. Its  graduates  wherever  they  are,  are  the  friends  of  all 
movements  of  the  Convention,  and  seem  to  appreciate  the  real 
interests  of  the   Church,  more   clearly  than  some  who  are  members. 

The  session  of  1833  was  held  in  Chatham  county.  Rev.  Dr.  S.  Wait 
was  chosen  agent  of  the  "  Wake  Forest  Institute,"  and  to  his  labo- 
rious efforts,  do  we  owe,  in  a  great  measure,  the  origin  and  continued 
existence  of  the  College  and  Convention ;  for  both  which  he  toiled 
as  agent  with  an  energy,  and  perseverance  that  has  resulted  in  their 
present  prosperous  condition.  The  sessions  were  held  annually  after 
1832,  in  November,  until  1840,  when  the  Convention  met  on  Friday 
before  1st  Lord's-day  in   October  at  Liberty,  Johnson  Co.     Here

Matthew  Yates,  (at  present  missionary  to  China,)  "  was  received  as 
a  beneficiary  and  sent  to  Wake  Forest  College."  In  1841  the  Con- 
vention met  on  "  Friday  preceding  the  3d  Sabbath  in  October," 
and  every  session  since  has  been  held  at  the  same  time  of  the  year. 
For  the  first  time,  the  Convention  appointed  a  committee  on  statis- 
tics in  1841,  which  continued  to  report  for  several  years  the  statistical 
condition  of  every  Association  in  the  State,  and  a  complete  list  of  all 
the  Baptist  ministers,  and  their  post-office  addresses.  It  has  been  a 
source  of  regret  that  for  several  years  past,  there  has  been  no  report 
on  statistics  presented  to  the  Convention.  Such  reports  increase  the 
interest  of  the  published  proceedings,  and  give  the  denomination  an 
appearance  of  unity  and  compactness  in  the  entire  State,  the  good 
effects  of  which  is  readily  apparent. 

The  finances  of  the  first  session  of  the  convention  have  been 
stated,  and  it  may  be  interesting  to  see  a  condensed  view  of  the  op- 
erations of  the  Convention  from  its  origin  to  the  present  time.

STATE    CONVENTION. 

BY   REV.    JOHN    STEVENS,    CINCINNATI. 

After  nearly  two  years  of  preparatory  effort  by  the  Cincinnati 
Baptist  Missionary  Society,  this  body  was  organized  by  a  meeting 
of  delegates  convened  for  the  purpose,  at  Zanesville,  May,  1826, 
under  the  name  of  "  The  Convention  of  the  Baptist  Denomination 
of  the  State  of  Ohio."  As  first  organized,  it  consisted  only  of 
delegates  from  Churches,  Associations,  and  primary  societies.  Be- 
sides such  delegates,  any  member  of  a  Baptist  church  may  now 
become  a  member  of  the  Convention  by  the  payment  of  one  dollar 
a  year, — a  life  member  by  the  payment  of  ten  dollars  at  one  time, 
— and  an  honorary  life  trustee  by  the  payment  of  thirty  dollars 
at  one  time. 

The  object  of  the  Convention  still  remains,  as  at  first  stated 
in  the  constitution,  to  wit,  "to  organize  and  digest  an  operative 
system  of  measures  in  relation  to  missionary  exertions  through- 
out the  State  of  Ohio,  and  from  time  to  time  to  adopt  such  means 
as  shall  be  deemed  by  the  Convention  calculated  to  promote  the 
general  prosperity  of  the  Redeemer's  cause,  particularly  within  the 
bounds  of  this  State." 

A  special  object  of  attention,  at  the  outset,  was  the  establish- 
ment of  a  weekly  religious  newspaper.  Hence  originated  the 
" Baptist  Weekly  Journal"  in  July,  1831,  now  published  under  the 
title  of  the  Journal  and  Messenger.  The  various  objects  of  Christian 
benevolence  have  also,  at  the  successive  annual  meetings,  been 
noticed  with  favor  and  recommended  to  the  patronage  of  the 
churches.  But  the  work  of  domestic  missions,  within  the  bounds 
of  the  State,  has  been  the  primary  and  chief  object  of  attention. 
For  the  promotion  of  this  work  alone,  agents  have  been  employed, 
and  the  funds  contributed  have  been  appropriated.     At  first  the 

35  (273)

work  proceeded  feebly  and  slowly ;  the  churches  were  few,  scattered, 
and  feeble,  and  of  the  entire  membership  in  the  State,  (say  7000  in 
all,)  about  one-half  were  opposed  to  missions.  The  amount  of  funds 
raised  the  first  six  years  was  $1790, — an  average  of  less  than  $300 
a  year ;  for  the  next  seven  years,  up  to  May,  1839,  the  amount 
raised  was  $4,345.73, — an  average  of  $620.82  a  year :  total,  for 
thirteen  years,  $6,135.73, — an  average  of  $471.98  a  year.  During 
this  period,  the  missionaries  employed  were  mostly  engaged  in  the 
itinerant  service,  with  an  allowance  from  the  treasury  of  the 
Convention,  the  greater  part  of  the  time,  of  from  ten  to  sixteen 
dollars  per  month.  Good  was  accomplished.  But  the  exigencies 
of  the  case  were  very  inadequately  met ;  and  the  more  liberal 
friends  of  the  cause  were  prompted  to  devise  and  carry  into  execu- 
tion a  more  efficient  scheme  of  operations. 

In  1838-39,  Rev.  Reuben  Winchell,  then  employed  as  the  agent 
of  the  American  Baptist  Home  Missionary  Society,  in  Ohio,  at  the 
suggestion  of  a  lay  brother,  proposed  the  raising  of  what  they  called 
the  "  Village  Fund,"  consisting  of  subscriptions  by  individuals  of 
five  and  ten  dollars  a  year,  to  be  appropriated  in  sustaining  pastor3 
in  county  seats  and  other  towns  and  villages, — not  exceeding  $100 
a  year  to  each  place.  The  plan  was  adopted,  and  this  effort  consti- 
tutes an  important  era  in  the  history  of  the  Convention,  and  in 
the  progress  of  the  Baptist  cause  in  Ohio.  Convenient  and  well 
located  meeting-houses  have  arisen ;  self-sustaining  churches  have 
multiplied ;  the  number  of  pastors  and  evangelists,  wholly  devoted 
to  their  work,  has  increased.  The  plan  has  proved  eminently  suc- 
cessful, and  is  still  carried  forward  on  a  constantly  expanding  scale, 
with  the  single  modification  of  allowing  larger  appropriations  where 
they  seem  imperatively  needed.  During  the  first  year,  ending 
May,  1S40,  the  amount  of  funds  raised  was  $1,551.52;  twenty 
missionaries  were  employed  ;  aid  was  given  to  churches  in  nineteen 
towns  and  villages  ;  and  the  time  of  missionary  service  equalled 
thirteen  years  of  one  man.  During  the  last  year,  closing  October, 
1851,  the  amount  of  funds  raised  was  $3,948.39;  34  missionaries 
and  agents  were  employed,  whose  united  service  was  equal  to  over 
21  years  of  one  man  ;  and  aid  was  given  to  27  county  seats  and 
other  important  towns  and  villages,  besides  a  large  number  of  out- 
stations,  where  the  seed  of  Divine  truth  was  sown  with  a  liberal 
band.  During  the  whole  period  of  twelve  years  ami  five  months 
since  the  "  Village  Effort"  was  commenced,  the  amount  of  funds 


ohio.  275 

raised  and  expended  by  the  Convention  is  $31,112.21, — an  average 
of  over  $2,500  a  year ;  and  the  average  of  missionary  labor  has 
been  equal  to  that  of  22  men  in  constant  service. 

The  increase  in  number  and  in  strength  of  the  Baptist  churches 
in  Ohio,  for  the  last  twenty-five  years,  has  been  very  largely  pro- 
moted by  home  and  domestic  missionary  effort.  Besides  the  labors 
of  the  Convention  sketched  above,  much  has  been  done  by  the 
American  Baptist  Home  Missionary  Society.  In  1833,  and  for 
several  years  subsequently,  Ohio  occupied  a  prominent  place  in  its 
field  of  operations.  Much  has  also  been  done  by  our  district 
Associations,  and  other  local  organizations.  The  amount  of  funds 
raised  and  expended  by  these  local  bodies,  for  the  year  ending 
with  October  last,  was  about  $2000, — making  the  entire  amount 
raised  and  expended  in  the  State,  last  year,  for  domestic  missions, 
not  less  than  $6000. 

Our  churches  are,  in  a  good  degree,  awake  to  the  importance 
and  magnitude  of  this  work  of  home  evangelization.  Our  motto  is 
onward.  While  we  now  have  only  about  450  churches, — many  of 
them  very  feeble, — we  have  ample  room  in  territory  and  prospect- 
ively in  population  for  a  thousand.  We  labor  in  hope.  "  The  little 
one  shall  become  a  thousand,  and  the  small  one  a  strong  nation :  I 
the  Lord  will  hasten  it  in  the  proper  time." 

EFFORTS  IN  BEHALF  OF  FOREIGN  MISSIONS. 

On  the  6th  of  August,  1815,  Rev.  Luther  Rice  preached  in  the 
Court  House  in  Zanesville,  and  received  a  collection  of  $35.67  for 
the  Baptist  Board  of  Foreign  Missions.  This  was  five  years  pre- 
vious to  the  organization  of  the  First  Baptist  Church  in  Zanesville. 
It  was  the  first  personal  visit  of  an  agent  to  Ohio  on  that  errand, 
and  is  believed  to  be  the  first  public  collection  made  in  the  State  for 
our  foreign  missions.  Mr.  Rice  made  two  or  three  visits  to  Ohio 
in  subsequent  years.  The  five  Associations  then  existing  in  the 
State,  embracing  89  churches,  and  less  than  3000  members,  all  in 
some  form,  and  to  a  greater  or  less  extent,  favored  the  new  enter- 
prise of  evangelizing  the  heathen.  During  five  years,  to  April, 
1820,  the  amount  of  contributions  was  $1,932.67.  During  the 
next  year,  ending  April,  1821,  $200  are  credited  to  Ohio,  and  also 
$100  in  goods  and  produce  for  the  Indian  Mission  near  Fort 
Wayne,  Indiana ;  and  during  the  year  ending  April,  1822,  contri- 


276  AMERICAN   BAPTIST   REGISTER. 

butions  were  made  to  the  amount  of  $985.69,  mostly  in  goods  and 
produce  for  the  Fort  Wayne  Mission,  from  the  Miami  and  Mad 
River  Vallies.  A  part  of  these  contributions  was  not  included  in 
the  treasury  reports  of  the  Board.  For  the  next  ten  years  very 
little,  and  in  most  of  them  nothing,  was  contributed  to  the  Foreign 
Mission  treasury.  Among  the  causes  of  this  decline  these  may  be 
enumerated ;  want  of  an  active  agency  in  the  field,  want  of  mis- 
sionary intelligence,  want  of  confidence  in  the  enterprise  itself,  and 
prejudices  created  by  false  rumors  in  regard  to  the  conduct  of  the 
work.  During  eighteen  years,  up  to  April,  1833,  the  whole  amount 
credited  to  Ohio  by  the  treasury  of  Board  was  $2,341.21, — an 
average  of  about  $130  a  year. 

The  organization  of  the  State  Convention  in  1826,  the  publica- 
tion of  a  monthly  periodical  at  Zanesville,  by  Rev.  G.  C.  Sedwick, 
commenced  in  1826,  and  continued  till  superseded  by  the  Baptist 
Weekly  Journal  in  1831 ;  the  establishment  of  the  Granville  Col- 
lege in  1831 ;  the  operations  of  the  American  Baptist  Home  Mis- 
sionary Society,  commenced  in  1832  ;  the  annual  meetings  of  the 
Western  Baptist  Convention  at  Cincinnati,  in  November,  1833,  and 
several  subsequent  years,  with  the  circulations  of  its  proceedings 
and  reports ;  and  especially  the  visit  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wade, 
returned  missionaries,  at  the  first  of  these  Conventions,  in  1833, 
together  with  what,  though  last  named,  is  not  least,  the  valuable 
labors  of  the  late  Rev.  Alfred  Bennett,  whose  series  of  annual  visits 
to  Ohio  and  other  Western  States,  as  agent  in  behalf  of  the  cause 
of  foreign  missions  commenced  with  the  same  Convention  in  1833, 
— were  the  chief  instrumentalities  whose  combined  influence  led  the 
Baptists  of  Ohio  to  engage,  with  new  system,  and  efficiency  in  the 
various  forms  of  evangelical  enterprise,  and  especially  with  a  larger 
measure  of  activity  in  the  cause  of  foreign  missions.  During  the 
ten  years,  ending  April  1,  1843,  the  amount  raised  in  Ohio  for  our 
foreign  mission  treasury  was  $9,620.75, — an  average  of  about 
a  year. 

Since  April  1,  1843,  an  agent  has  been  employed  most  of  the 
time  in  Ohio  and  the  adjoining  States.  Under  the  favorable  influ- 
ences which  have  been  exerted,  and  especially  through  the  wider 
diffusion  of  missionary  intelligence  and  tho  activo  co-operation  of 
pastors,  the  pecuniary  contributions  have  greatly  increased,  and 
the  churches  have  several  representatives  in  the  field  abroad.  For 
the  nine  years  ending  April  1,  1852,  the  amount  of  contributions 


ohio.  277 

from  Ohio  is  $38,591, — an  annual  average  of  nearly  $4,300.     The 
present  rate  is  about  $5,500  a  year.

FIRST  BAPTIST  CHURCH,   CINCINNATI. 

This  edifice  is  in  a  central  position,  and  in  a  beautiful  section  of 
the  city.  The  lot  on  which  it  stands  is  168  by  770  feet,  a  part  of 
which  is  used  as  a  Cemetery,  and  is  highly  ornamented  with  trees, 
shrubbery,  monuments,  &c.  A  fine  grouping  of  statuary  of  the 
Gano  family  is  much  admired. 

The  building  is  constructed  in  the  semi-gothic  style  of  architec- 
ture. Its  dimensions  are  54  by  85  feet  on  the  ground — 40  feet  in 
height,  and  surmounted  by  a  spire  136  feet  high.  A  clock  and  bell, 
costing  §1200,  is  placed  in  the  steeple.  The  house  is  handsomely 
furnished  with  baptistery,  gas  fixtures,  &c.  The  building  was  erected 
and  completed  in  nineteen  months,  and  every  dollar  of  its  cost  paid 
on  the  day  when  it  was  due.

OREGON. 


BY   REV.    EZRA   FISHER. 

In  1843,  a  few  Baptist  brethren  and  sisters  from  Illinois  and 
Missouri,  in  company  with  other  enterprising  pioneers  crossed  the 
Rocky  Mountains  in  search  of  a  home  in  the  mild  and  salubrious 
clime  of  the  western  slope  of  the  Cascade  range  of  mountains,  where 
the  labors  of  the  husbandman  were  said  to  be  generously  rewarded 
by  the  unfailing  crops  of  small  grain  and  vegetables,  and  where 
their  flocks  and  herds  might  fatten  on  the  rich  and  luxuriant  grasses 
which  every  where  grew,  in  great  abundance,  on  the  extended  prairies 
of  the  many  and  almost  endlessly  variegated  vallies,  through  which 
the  pure  mountain  streams  rolled  in  their  course  to  the  great  deep  ; 
thus  fondly  hoping  to  exempt  themselves,  in  a  great  measure,  from 
the  labor  of  providing  food  and  houses  for  their  flocks  in  winter,  and 
,  at  the  same  time,  to  escape  the  malaria  and  all  its  attendant  ills 
which  so  extensively  pervade  whole  States  in  the  vast  region  of  the 
Mississippi  valley  during  the  summer  and  autumn  months.  No 
doubt  some  of  the  brethren,  at  heart,  ardently  desired  to  aid  in 
planting  the  standard  of  the  cross  in  the  land  of  their  future  homes, 
where  they  might  enjoy  for  themselves,  and  transmit  to  the  millions 
who  might  rise  up  in  the  future  States  of  Oregon,  the  uncorrupted 
teachings  of  God's  book,  and  exemplify  them  in  a  life  of  obedi' 
to  their  high  and  holy  claims.  Several  of  these  brethren  having 
chosen  their  land  claims  in  the  Tualatin  plains,  and  constructed 
their  rude  cabins,  immediately  set  themselves  about  the  maintenance 
of  the  worship  of  God,  by  convening  themselves  statedly  on  the 
Lord's  day  for  prayer  and  praise.  Although  removed  thousands  of 
miles  from  the  living  ministry  of  their  own  faith  and  order, 
and  repeatedly  solicited  to  associate  themselves  with  pedobaptist 
churches,  till  they  might  be  favored  with  a  ministry  of  their  own, 
yet  upon  prayerful  deliberation  they  ventured  to  organize  themselves 
into  a  church  state  on  the  25th  of  May,  1844,  taking  the  significant 
name  of  West  Union  church.  During  the  following  summer  they 
(292) 


OREGON.  233 

continued  to  meet  statedly  for  the  worship  of  God,  devoutly 
supplicating  the  great  Head  of  the  church  that  He  would  send 
them  a  faithful  under  shepherd  who  should  feed  them  with  the 
bread  of  life,  and  defend  them  from  the  artful  assaults  of  error. 
While  these  disciples  were  thus  employed  in  Oregon,  and  effectually 
cut  off  from  all  intercourse,  for  the  time  being,  with  the  churches  in 
the  States,  Rev.  Vincent  Snelling's  mind  was  providentially  directed 
to  the  subject  of  emigrating  to  this  Territory.  Early  in  the  spring 
of  this  year,  he,  in  company  with  a  respectable  number  of  his  brethren, 
left  Missouri,  as  a  kind  of  providential  reinforcement,  to  the  few 
pioneers  who  had  led  the  way  to  the  borders  of  the  Pacific.  His 
arrival  in  the  settlements  of  Oregon  was  hailed  with  joy,  and  he 
was  soon  invited  to,  and  accepted  the  pastoral  care  of  the  infant 
church.  In  connection  with  his  labors  with  this  church,  scattered 
through  the  Tualatin  plains,  a  territory  equal  in  extent  to  half  an 
ordinary  county,  he  occasionally  extended  his  labors  into  Yam  Hill 
valley,  about  forty  miles  distant  to  the  southward,  where  some  of  his 
brethren  were  settled.  This  valley  forms  part  of  the  Williamette  valley. 
Rev.  Ezra  Fisher,  and  Rev.  Hezekiah  Johnson,  having  received 
appointments  from  the  American  Baptist  Home  Mission  Society,  as 
missionaries  for  Oregon,  in  the  spring  of  1845,  after  a  journey  of 
eight  months  of  fatigue  and  perils  so  common  to  the  early  emigrants 
across  the  mountains,  arrived  with  their  families  in  safety  in  the 
settlements,  on  the  6th  of  December.  Rev.  Mr.  Johnson  commenced 
his  labors  in  Oregon  City,  and  Rev.  Mr.  Fisher  in  Tualatin  plains. 
During  the  ensuing  spring,  Rev.  Mr.  Snelling  having  removed  to 
Yam  Hill  valley,  at  the  request  of  his  brethren  in  that  vicinity, 
gathered  a  small  church  which  was  constituted  by  advice  of  a  council 
of  delegates,  convened  for  that  purpose,  and  was  publicly  recognized 
on  the  2d  of  August,  1846,  by  Rev.  Messrs.  Snelling,  Johnson,  and 
Fisher.  Rev.  Mr.  Snelling  having  occasionally  visited  and  preached 
to  the  brethren  settled  on  the  La  Creole  river  emptying  into  the 
Williamette  from  the  west,  about  12  miles  above  the  mouth  of  the 
Yam  Hill,  on  the  23d  of  the  same  month  aided  in  the  constitution 
of  a  church  bearing  the  name  of  the  aforesaid  river.  On  the  4th  of 
July,  1847,  a  church  was  constituted  in  Oregon  City,  gathered  by 
the  labors  of  Rev.  Mr.  Johnson,  and  recognized  by  Rev.  Messrs. 
Johnson  and  Snelling.  During  the  same  summer  a  church  was 
constituted  on  the  Molala  Prairie,  twelve  miles  south-east  from  Oregon 
City,    and    recognized   by   Rev.  Mr.    Snelling.      This   year   Rev.

Messrs.  Win.  Porter  and  Richard  Miller  emigrated  to  the  Territory, 
who  formed  a  valuable  acquisition  to  the  ministry.  Rev.  Mr.  Porter 
devoted  his  labors  to  the  service  of  the  West  Union  church,  as  far  as 
consistent  with  the  dependent  condition  of  his  family.  The  feeble 
state  of  Rev.  Mr.  Miller's  health  confined  him  mostly  to  his  immediate 
neighborhood.  Rev.  Mr.  Fisher  having  removed  to  Clatsop  plains, 
near  the  mouth  of  the  Columbia  river,  immediately  on  the  Pacific 
coast,  on  the  19th  of  March,  1848,  a  small  church  was  constituted 
in  connection  with  his  labors.  In  June  following,  Rev.  Mr.  Johnson 
having  travelled  up  the  east  side  of  the  Williamette,  constituted  the 
Santiyam  church  on  the  South  Fork  of  the  Santiyam  river.  On  the 
25th  of  the  same  month  the  "Williamette  Baptist  Association"  was 
organized.  The  delegates  from  several  anti-missionary  churches 
met  in  convention  with  the  delegates  from  the  missionary  churches. 
But  being  unable  to  effect  a  union  upon  satisfactory  principles,  the 
anti-missionary  delegates  declined  going  into  the  constitution.  And 
in  June,  1850,  the  anti-missionary  churches  constituted  an  Association, 
taking  the  name  of  Siloam  Association.  In  the  fall  of  1848,  Rev. 
Richmond  Cheedle,  missionary  agent  of  the  "  American  Baptist 
Publication  Society,"  arrived  in  the  Williamette  valley,  whose  labors 
are  contributing  largely,  to  the  diffusion  of  religious  intelligence  and 
a  correct  knowledge  of  Baptist  principles,  through  the  publications 
he  distributes,  and  to  the  comforting  of  the  brethren  as  he  visits 
from  house  to  house,  and  preaches  the  word  from  Sabbath  to  Sabbath. 
In  1850  the  Lebanon  and  Shiloh  churches  were  constituted  in 
Marion  county,  on  the  east  side  of  the  Williamette,  and  in  a  central 
part  of  the  valley.  Early  in  the  spring  of  1851  a  small  church  was 
constituted  at  Albany,  a  county  town  on  the  Williamette,  about  12 
miles  above  the  mouth  of  the  Santiyam,  under  the  labors  of  Rev.  Mr. 
Hill  from  Missouri,  who  spent  about  a  year  in  that  place  in  the 
character  of  a  preacher  and  teacher. 

Early  in  September  of  this  year,  Rev.  Messrs.  Chandler  and  Read 
arrived  in  the  settlements  by  the  overland  route,  under  appointment 
from  the  Home  Missionary  Society,  and  immediately  entered  upon 
their  appropriate  labors  of  teaching  in  the  Oregon  City  College,  and 
preaching,  Messrs.  Fisher  and  Johnson  entering  upon  other  important 
labors  which  the  devclopements  in  the  settlements  so  eminently 
demand. 

During  the   spring  of  1848,  an  interesting  revival  was  enj 
in  the  West  Union  church,  in  which  Rev.  Mr.  Snellins  labored,

aided  by  the  labors  of  Rev.  Mr.  Porter,  during  which  time  nineteen 
were  added  to  the  church  by  baptism,  and  about  the  same  number 
by  letter.  Other  churches  have  received  occasional  tokens  of  Divine 
favor,  but  no  one  has  been  favored  with  a  general  work  of  grace. 
As  yet  we  have  no  meeting  houses  in  the  Territory  except  a  small 
one  in  Oregon  City.  The  churches  uniformly  worship  in  log  school 
houses,  and  private  dwellings  (usually  log  cabins),  except  during  the 
summer  months,  when  for  convenience,  the  people  construct  a 
temporary  stand  or  pulpit,  in  front  of  which  seats  are  made  from 
split  and  hewed  logs,  in  some  shady  grove.  Rude  as  are  our 
places  of  worship,  we  probably  approach  near  to  the  primitive 
simplicity,  in  which  our  Divine  Master  delivered  the  most  instructive 
discourse  of  which  we  have  any  record.  Seldom,  even  in  the 
western  wilds,  do  the  disciples  go  from  our  solemn  assemblies 
uninstructed  or  the  impenitent  unconvicted.  As  yet  it  is  a  source 
of  frequent  and  deep  regret  that  so  scattered  are  our  settlements, 
and  so  seldom  is  preaching  regular,  at  any  given  place,  oftener 
than  once  each  month,  that  but  few  Sabbath  Schools  are 
sustained  in  our  churches.  Probably  not  more  than  five  are  sustained 
by  Baptist  churches  in  the  whole  Territory,  the  number  of  scholars 
about  100,  and  of  teachers  about  15.  Our  churches  manifest  a 
laudable  spirit  of  inquiry  after  religious  knowledge,  as  will  appear 
by  the  report  of  our  colporteur,  in  the  sale  of  religious  books,  as 
well  as  by  their  willingness  to  encourage  religious  periodicals.

STATE     CONVENTION. 

The  Baptists  of  Pennsylvania,  for  more  than  a  century,  were 
"  more  abundant  in  labors"  for  the  promulgation  of  the  truth, 
beyond,  than  within  the  borders  of  their  own  Commonwealth.  The 
first  Association  in  America — the  prolific  mother  of  a  multiplied  and 
healthy  progeny,  which,  in  the  language  of  the  historian,  "  has  given 
rules  and  even  doctrines  to  most  of  the  Associations  in  the  South 
and  West" — claims  Pennsylvania  as  the  place  of  her  nativity.  In 
every  section  of  the  colonies,  and  of  the  early  republic,  was  her 
influence  felt.  New  York,  JSfew  Jersey,  and  other  places  farther 
East,  together  with  all  the  Southern  States,  when  the  Ohio  and 
Mississippi  rivers  were  the  boundaries  of  those  States,  formed  the 
field  of  its  culture.  Gano,  Miller,  Vaughan,  Thomas,  Sutton, 
Morgan,  Stelle,  Davis,  Blackwell,  and  a  host  of  other  devoted  and 
successful  servants  of  God,  were  missionaries  sent,  not  to  the 
destitute  interior  of  their  own  State  but  to  bless  by  their  prayers  and 
labors,  other  sections  of  the  common  vineyard.  There  is  now  not  a 
State,  except  Maryland  and  Delaware,  to  which  the  Baptists  of 
Pennsylvania  gave  their  pioneers  and  early  coadjutors,  whose 
numerical  strength,  and  domestic  influence,  does  not  exceed  their 
own.  They  were  the  principal  agents  in  the  establishment  of  the 
first  denominational  College,  and  they  have  not  been  backward  in 
aiding  the  erection  and  support  of  many  others,  and  yet  until 
recently,  have  had  none  of  their  own. 

Though  in  extent  Pennsylvania  is  less  than  some  of  the  Western 
States,  yet  it  is  larger  than  most  of  the  Eastern,  and  from  its  position 
between  the  Eastern  and  Western,  and  extending  to  the  Southern 
States,  it  is  well  situated  to  exert  an  influence  upon  our  entire 
country.  On  the  East,  her  commerce  is  with  the  entire  world.  On 
the  West,  she  may  appropriate  a  large  share  of  the  trade  of  inland

seas,  and  draw  the  treasures  of  half  a  continent  into  her  great 
metropolis.  Though  less  than  some  of  the  Western  States  in  extent, 
in  population  she  is  far  superior,  having  about  one-tenth  of  the 
inhabitants  of  the  United  States  within  her  bounds.  Her  population 
is  greater  than  the  entire  number  west  of  the  Mississippi  river  to  the 
Pacific  Ocean,  including  the  native  tribes.  Though  the  geographical 
centre  of  the  United,  States  is  160  miles  west  of  the  western  boundary 
of  Missouri,  the  centre  of  population  is  within  Pennsylvania. 

For  the  few  past  years,  a  more  earnest  spirit  has  been  awakened 
among  the  Baptists  of  the  State  for  the  supply  of  the  destitution, 
and  for  the  dissemination  of  a  pure  Christianity  within  their  own 
borders. 

The  fifteenth  anniversary  of  the  Convention  was  held  at  Jersey 
Shore,  October  24 — 25,  1851.  Nine  Associations  were  represented. 
The  report  of  the  Board  shows  that  thirty-five  missionaries  had  been 
employed  during  the  year — twenty-one  for  the  whole  time — three 
for  nine  months — seven  for  six  months,  and  four  for  a  shorter  period. 
These,  in  the  aggregate,  preached  4,297  sermons;  traveled  23,769 
miles  ;  visited  3,719  families  ;  and  baptized  224  converts,  besides 
various  other  labors.  They  occupy  regularly  ninety-two  stations 
and  out-stations.  The  amount  expended  during  the  year  was 
$5,807.74.

A 


RHODE    ISLAND. 


STATE    CONVENTION. 

The  twenty-sixth  anniversary  of  the  Rhode  Island  State 
Convention  was  held  in  Newport,  April  8,  1851.  The  following 
brief  review  we  extract  from  the  annual  report : — 

"  By  '  little  and  little'  has  the  Lord  our  God  accomplished  much, 
through  the  instrumentality  of  this  organization.  Twenty-six  years 
ago,  the  Rev.  William  Gammell  moved,  seconded  by  the  Rev.  F. 
Shurtliff,  that  a  Convention,  as  described  in  a  preamble  then  read, 
'  should  be  organized  as  aforesaid.'  Several  objects  then  contemplated 
by  the  Convention,  have  been  from  time  to  time  taken  up  by  other 
organizations,  and  the  aim  of  the  body  gradually  assumed  greater 
simplicity  and  directness,  until  its  object  was  limited  to  aiding  feeble 
churches,  to  sustain  the  preaching  of  the  gospel,  within  the  bounds 
of  the  State.  At  first  the  efforts  of  the  venerated  founders  of  the 
Convention  seem  to  have  been  expended  in  sustaining  traveling 
agents,  to  explore  the  State,  collect  funds,  and  preach  to  the  destitute. 
And  as  late  as  1829,  Fall  River  church,  now  become  two  bands,  was 
supplied  by  the  agent  of  this  Convention.  The  limits  of  our  report 
will  not  permit  us  to  enter  into  even  a  brief  history  of  the  doings  of 
this  body ;  but  a  few  data  may  be  given,  which  may  assist  us  in 
forming  an  idea  of  the  small  beginnings,  and  of  the  slow  but  steady 
progress  made  in  raising  funds,  and  in  planting  and  nourishing 
churches  throughout  the  State.  The  following  sums,  (omitting 
the  fractions,)  were  expended  in  this  work :  In  1829,  $441  ;  in  '32, 
$751 ;  in  '35,  $644  ;  in  '38,  $833;  in  '42,  $1,170 ;  in  '44,  $2,065 ; 
in  '47,  $2,820,  (the  largest  sum  expended  in  any  one  year,)  and  in 
'50,  $1,930.  The  average  sum  expended  in  each  year  since  the 
Convention  was  organized,  is,  as  near  as  can  be  ascertained  from 
the  imperfect  data  in  our  possession,  a  little  over  $1,000.  The 
increase  of  the  Convention's  means  of  usefulness  may  be  more 
clearly  seen,  if  we  take  periods  of  ten  years.     In  1829,  for  example, 

(309) 


310  AMERICAN   BAPTIST   REGISTER. 

they  were  $441 ;  in  '39,  $963,  and  in  '49,  $1879.  The  great 
majority  of  the  churches  in  the  State  have  been  more  or  less  aided 
by  the  Convention.  We  can  now  recall  fourteen  of  the  most  efficient 
churches  out  of  the  city  of  Providence,  which  have  been  fostered  into 
strong  and  vigorous  health  by  the  timely  assistance  rendered  to 
them  in  their  early  struggles.  This  we  are  aware  is  but  an  imperfect 
method  of  calculating  what  has  been  done,  by  the  good  hand  of  our 
God  upon  us.  How  many  offshoots  have  sprung  from  those  churches, 
how  many  members  have  gone  to  other  States  or  countries,  rejoicing 
in  having  been  permitted  to  hear  and  feel  for  the  first  time  the 
power  of  the  gospel  faithfully  proclaimed  by  the  zealous  missionaries 
of  this  Convention  ?  Yet  how  small  a  sum  is  some  25  or  $30,000 
contributed  during  twenty-six  years,  to  evangelize  the  destitute 
regions  of  this  State  ?  Can  this  be  all  that  the  Baptists  of  Rhode 
Island  have  given  for  purely  missionary  purposes  in  their  own  State  ? 
Our  work  is  not  yet  done.  The  past  year  fourteen  churches  have 
received  help.  There  are  new  stations  also  springing  up  every  few 
months,  which  ought  to  be  promptly  occupied,  and  would  be,  were 
there  funds  for  the  undertaking."

DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  BAPTIST  CHURCH,  WARREN,  R.  I. 

The  church  was  built  in  1844.  The  length  of  the  body  of  the 
house  is  84  feet,  the  width  70  feet,  and  its  height  34  feet  from  the 
ground  to  the  outside  cornice.  In  front  is  a  tower,  23  feet  square, 
and  86  feet  high,  surmounted  by  a  battlement  rising  8  feet,  and 
projecting  out  one  foot.  The  side  and  end  walls  of  the  main  building 
are  surmounted  by  battlements  of  the  same  order  with  the  tower, 
rising  about  six  feet  from  the  roof.  The  walls  of  the  building  are 
constructed  of  dark  brown  and  gray  stone,  laid  in  horizontal  courses, 
technically  called  the  Scotch  course  rubble,  the  course  varying  from 
12  to  18  inches  in  height,  but  each  course  carried  uniformly  round 
the  whole  building.  There  are  14  arched  windows,  each  24  feet  high, 
5  in  each  side,  and  2  in  each  end.  There  are  five  arched  windows  in 
the  tower.  The  windows  of  the  main  building  are  filled  with  stained 
glass.  On  the  floor  of  the  audience  room  are  14G  pews  arranged  in 
three  double  rows,  with  four  aisles,  two  side  and  two  medial.  The 
platform  of  the  pulpit  is  on  a  level  with  Che  tops  of  the  pews.  The 
pulpit  is  lighted  by  two  lamps  on  bronzed  standards,  and  the  house 
by  four  bronzed  chandeliers,  each  having  eight  burners.  There  is  a 
gallery  over  the  vestibule,  and  the  organ  loft  is  in  the  tower.  There

SOUTH   CAROLINA. 


STATE    CONVENTION. 

The  thirty-first  anniversary  of  this  body  was  held  at  Welsh  Neck, 
November  15,  1851.  Nine  Associations,  besides  missionary  bodies 
and  churches,  were  represented  in  the  Convention. 

The  following  extract  from  a  Report  which  was  adopted  by  the 
body,  proposes  "  the  enlargement  of  the  sphere  of  its  operations." 

"It  is  apparent  that  there  is  something  wanting  to  enlist  the 
active  co-operation  of  the  constituent  members  of  this  Convention, 
and  of  the  denomination  in  our  State,  in  its  objects  and  labors. 
The  meagre  attendance  at  the  meetings  of  this  body  for  several 
years,  establishes  this  painful  fact.  It  becomes,  therefore,  a  ques- 
tion of  deep  concern,  to  enquire  after  the  causes  of  this  depressing 
indifference,  and  ascertain  if  any  thing  can  be  done  to  remedy  the 
evil,  and  attract  to  the  Convention  the  sympathies  and  energies 
of  the  denomination.  The  narrow  basis  upon  which  the  Convention 
now  practically  operates,  appears  to  your  Committee  the  most 
obvious  of  the  causes,  since  it  has  hitherto  confined  its  attention 
almost  exclusively  to  educational  interests.  However  valuable  and 
indispensable  these  may  be,  they  take  strong  hold  upon  but  a 
limited  number  of  the  members  of  our  churches.  Experience  has 
demonstrated  that  the  benevolent  enterprises  of  broader  aims,  and 
more  general  application,  excite  the  deeper  sympathies,  and  secure 
the  more  prompt  and  cordial  co-operation  of  the  Christian  ma 
It  appears  to  your  Committee  of  vital  importance  to  the  prosperity 
of  our  denomination  in  this  State,  that  the  Convention  embrace 
such  a  wide  range  of  objects,  as  will  combine  the  energies  and 
influence  of  its  general  minor  Associations  in  one  commanding 
central  organization.  Thus  only  will  it  Bubserve  its  original  pur- 
poses, in  cultivating  brotherly  love  and  confidence,  in  disseminating 
the  Gospel,  and  showing  to  ourselves  and  to  the  world  what  our 
churches  arc  actually  accomplishing. 
(314) 


SOUTH    CAROLINA.  315 

In  order  to  secure  these  most  desirable  results,  we  recommend 
that  the  Convention  become  a  more  thoroughly  Missionary  body — 
that  it  be  the  organ  for  receiving,  and  transmitting  to  their  proper 
destination,  the  funds  which  are  now  immediately  disbursed  by 
Associations  and  primary  bodies — that  it  take  charge  of  missionary 
operations  in  this  State,  so  far  as  circumstances  may  require  ;  and 
that  in  the  case  of  such  Associations  as  now  have  missionary  opera- 
tions within  their  bounds  in  successful  progress,  reports  of  their 
doings  being  made  to  the  Convention,  these  reports  shall  be  pub- 
lished in  the  Minutes  of  the  Mission  Board  of  the  Convention — 
that  it  extend  its  fostering  care  to  the  Bible  cause,  without  abating 
its  wonted  zeal,  or  relaxing  its  exertions  for  education.  To  this 
end,  we  propose  that  it  be  recommended  to  the  State  Education 
and  Bible  Societies  to  dissolve,  in  order  to  their  being  absorbed  into 
the  Convention ;  and  that  Boards  be  constituted  to  superintend  and 
manage  respectively,  Home  Mission,  Bible,  and  Education  interests."

TENNESSEE. 


STATE    CONVENTION. 

COMPILED  FROM  COMMUNICATIONS  FROM  DRS.  HOWELL  AND  BAKER. 

A  Baptist  State  Convention  for  domestic  missionary  purposes  was 
formed  at  the  Mill  Creek  Church,  Davidson  County,  in  October, 
1833.  This  continued  in  operation  for  nine  years,  and  in  October, 
1842,  it  was  dissolved  to  give  place  to  the  General  Association  of 
the  Baptists  of  Tennessee,  -which,  at  Mill  Creek,  in  Davidson  Co., 
was  then  organized.  The  Convention,  during  the  nine  years  of  its 
existence,  had  a  career  of  great  usefulness.  During  its  existence, 
there  were  brought  into  being  a  State  Bible  Society,  Education 
Society,  Publication  and  Sunday  School  Society ;  and  the  Foreign 
Mission  Society,  created  more  than  twenty  years  before  by  the 
lamented  Luther  Rice,  was  re-organized  :  all  of  which  are  now  in 
vigorous  existence.  For  about  seventeen  years,  a  newspaper,  de- 
voted to  the  defence  of  the  Gospel  and  the  circulation  of  religious  in- 
telligence, has  been  liberally  patronized  by  Tennessee  Baptists.  The 
Baptists  of  Tennessee  have  also  subscribed  about  $60,000  for  the  en- 
dowment of  Union  University,  and  this  institution  will  soon  repay 
the  churches  for  all  they  expend  on  it,  in  educating,  gratuitously, 
the  rising  ministry.  During  the  session  which  closed  July,  1851, 
young  ministers  received  regular  instruction  to  the  amount  of  $400, 
at  the  regular  College  charges,  and  for  three  years  previous  to  the 
time  named,  the  amount  thus  given  by  the  University  was  about 
$1400.  Soon  will  the  churches,  at  this  rate,  receive  back  in  edu- 
cation given  to  their  ministry,  every  dollar  which  they  have  given 
to  Union  University. 

The  State  of  Tennessee  is  about  five  hundred  miles  long  and 
one  hundred  broad.  This  form  of  territory  makes  it  very  inconve- 
nient for  our  brethren  to  meet  from  all  parts  of  the  State.  Besides, 
the  State  is  by  nature,  and  in  the  mind  of  all  its  people,   divided 

(327) 


328  AMERICAN   BAPTIST   REGISTER. 

into  three  parts.  East  Tennessee  embraces  that  part  which  lies 
between  the  North  Carolina  line  and  the  Western  slope  of  Cumber- 
land Mountains.  Middle  Tennessee  that  which  lies  between  the 
Cumberland  Mountains,  and  the  Tennessee  River,  both  of  which,  run 
across  the  State  nearly  at  right  angles.  And  West  Tennessee  em- 
braces the  portion  between  the  Tennessee  and  the  Mississippi  Rivers. 

East  Tennessee  has  its  General  Association,  which  embraces 
Domestic  and  Foreign  Missions,  Bible  operations,  Education  and 
Publication.  It  has  a  flourishing  High  School  at  Mossy  Creek,  not 
far  from  Knoxville.  It  is  a  large,  vigorous,  and  prosperous  body, 
and  does  more  work  for  the  amount  of  funds  employed  than  any 
similar  body  in  America.  Middle  Tennessee  embraces  in  its  organ- 
izations that  part  of  Alabama  which  lies  in  the  valley  of  the  Ten- 
nessee River,  known  as  North  Alabama,  and  cut  off  from  the 
southern  part  of  that  State  by  the  mountains.  It  has  also  its 
General  Association,  with  the  same  departments  as  that  of  East 
Tennessee.  It  has  under  its  charge  five  female  schools  of  the 
highest  character,  all  of  which  are  ably  conducted,  and  several 
very  large  and  flourishing, — one  in  Nashville,  one  in  Murfrees- 
borough,  one  in  McMinnville,  one  in  Winchester,  and  one  in 
Moulton,  Alabama.  This  is  a  large,  able,  vigorous,  and  success- 
ful body. 

West  Tennessee  has  its  Convention  for  Domestic  Missionary  pur- 
poses, its  Foreign  Mission,  Bible,  Education,  and  Publication 
Societies,  all  of  which  hold  their  anniversaries  at  the  same  time 
and  place.  These  societies  are  all  well  sustained,  but  the  Bible, 
Foreign  Mission,  and  Education  Societies  are  much  more  efficient 
than  the  others.  Intelligence  and  wealth  abound  here,  and  the 
brethren  accomplish  great  good.  They  have  two  female  schools  of 
exalted  character,  the  Howell  Institute  at  Lexington,  and  the  school 
in  Jackson.  They  also  have  a  Book  Depository  in  Memphis,  and  a 
book  store  in  Somerville.  The  three  bodies  interchange  courtesies, 
fellowship,  &c,  at  the  annual  meeting,  by  letters,  messengers,  and 
attentions,  and  heartily  co-operate  in  all  their  "  works  of  faith, 
and  labors  of  love." 

Two  collateral  facts  may  be  mentioned.  Nearly  all  our  ministers 
in  Tennessee  are  young  men,  who  have  arisen  within  the  last  ten 
years,  many  of  whom  arc  highly  educated,  and  they  are,  as  a 
body,  the  ablest  set  of  young  men  I  ever  saw  together,  vastly 
superior  to  the  ministry  of  any   other  denomination  in  the   State. 


TENNESSEE.  329 

The  church  in  Nashville  has  sent  out  twenty-three  of  this  number. 
This  is  one  fact.  The  other  is,  that,  within  the  last  seven  years, 
our  denomination  has  advanced  in  that  State  more  rapidly  in  num- 
bers, wealth,  intelligence,  and  influence,  than  in  any  other  part  of 
our  country  of  which  I  have  any  knowledge.

TEXAS. 


STATE   CONVENTION. 

The  fourth  annual  meeting  of  the  Baptist  Convention  of  Texas 
was  held  at  Independence,  June  14.  1851. 

The  following  extracts  from  Reports  presented  to  the  body  will, 
exhibit  something  of  the  nature  and  spirit  of  its  operations : 

"  The  destitution  within  our  own  State  is  great,  and  the  call  for 
the  Bread  of  Life — for  more  laborers,  is  loud  and  frequent.  At  this 
moment  there  are  several  important  fields  in  which  a  support  could 
be  raised  if  we  had  the  Ministers  or  reapers  to  thrust  into  the  har- 
vest. In  many  portions  of  the  State,  the  unconverted,  as  well  as  many 
who  have  joined  other  Denominations  are  anxious  to  have  Baptist 
preaching,  and  are  willing  to  contribute  liberally  to  the  support  of  the 
Gospel.  Your  committee  are  pleased  to  state  that  since  your  last 
Session,  vigorous  efforts  have  been  made  to  supply  the  destitution, 
by  this  Body,  in  connexion  with  the  kind  aid  of  the  Southern  Baptist 
Convention,  which  Body  has  ever  been  ready  to  help  to  the  utmost 
of  their  ability,  the  cause  in  Texas. 

"  Within  the  last  year,  there  has  been  an  addition  of  some  twenty 
or  twenty-five  to  our  Ministry  in  Texas.  Our  fervent  prayer  is,  that 
the  Lord  of  the  vineyard  would  send  forth  more  laborers,  and  that 
He  would  also  open  the  heart  of  the  Church  to  give  food  and  raiment 
convenient  to  those  already  in  the  field." 

"  Larger  delegations  and  more  liberal  contributions  indicate  a  deeper 
interest  in  the  churches  for  the  Convention  than  was  ever  witnessed 
before.  This  increased  interest  and  prosperity  is  chiefly  owing  under 
God  to  the  arduous  and  efficient  labors  of  our  Missionary  agent,  Rev. 
J.  W.  D.  Creath,  who  was  appointed  to  this  important  work  at  our 
2d  meeting,  on  the  15th  June,  1850.  His  duty  was  to  collect  funds, 
and  awaken  a  general  interest  for  the  Convention,  to  organize  new 
Churches  in  destitute  places,  and  aid  them  in  securing  and  support- 
ing Pastors.

"  He  was  released  from  his  churches  by  the  earnest  solicitation  of 
your  Board,  and  entered  on  his  labors  on  the  22d  of  August,  1850, 
since  which  time  he  has  traveled  3000  miles,  delivered  93  lectures 
and  exhortations  ;  preached  137  sermons  ;  visited  240  families  ;  at- 
tended 16  prayer  meetings ;  ordained  4  Deacons ;  ordained  1 
Preacher ;  organized  1  Sabbath  School ;  raised  in  cash  $843  47 ; 
expenses  $34  00." 

Six  Missionaries  including  the  General  Agent,  were  employed  by 
the  Board  during  the  year,  whose  aggregate  labors  are  thus  given  : 
396  sermons  preached  ;  6162  miles  traveled;  265  families  visited  ; 
23  converts  baptized  ;  4  churches  constituted.  The  amount  of  funds 
received  was  $1,311  27.

VERMONT. 


BY  C.  A.  THOMAS,  BRANDON. 

The  first  Baptist  Church  in  Vermont  was  constituted  in  Shafts- 
bury,  in  1765.  After  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  War,  the  Bap- 
tists rapidly  increased,  until  about  1795,  when  the  sale  of  the  mili- 
tary lands  in  the  State  of  New  York  attracted  the  attention  of  the 
inhabitants  of  Vermont,  and  drew  off  multitudes  to  those  new  set- 
tlements. Since  that  time,  there  has  been  a  constant  removing  to 
the  Western  sections  of  the  country  ;  and  the  Baptist  denomination 
has  contributed  largely  towards  swelling  the  tide  of  emigration. 

Other  causes  too  have  operated,  within  a  few  years,  to  weaken 
and  diminish  some  of  the  churches.  Second  Adventism,  as 
preached  by  William  Miller,  and  infidelity,  as  promulgated  by  0.  S. 
Murray,  have  been  productive  of  considerable  evil.  Under  the  in- 
fluence of  these  errors,  some  have  swerved  from  the  truth,  and  oth- 
ers have  been  kept  from  embracing  it.  The  prospects,  however,  of 
the  denomination  at  the  present  time,  are  brightening. 

The  Twenty-sixth  Aniversary  of  the  Convention  was  held  at 
South  Fairfax,  Oct.  1st,  1851. 

Twelve  churches  were  aided  by  the  Convention  during  the  year, 
in  sustaining  the  ministry  of  the  word,  and  the  funds  expended  for 
this  purpose  amounted  to  $1,830  57.

VIRGINIA. 


GENERAL    ASSOCIATION. 

The  twenty-eighth  anniversary  of  this  body  was  held  in  Richmond, 
June  1,  1851. 

The  following  extracts  from  the  reports  exhibit  a  summary  of  the 
operations  of  the  Association  : — 

"The  General  Association  embraces  in  its  constituency  every 
Association  in  the  State,  save  two,  and  some  of  the  churches  of  both 
these  have  sent  up  their  representatives  to  cheer  you  onward  in 
your  holy  enterprise.  Almost,  do  we  to-day  realize  those  bright 
anticipations  of  Christian  union  and  co-operation,  which  inspired  the 
hearts  of  our  fathers,  when  they  resolved  to  attempt  to  bind  the 
whole  Baptist  family  of  Virginia  into  one  common  brotherhood,  for 
the  noble  purpose  of  subjugating  this  entire  commonwealth  to  the 
dominion  of  the  Redeemer.  We  do  not  say  that  we  have  attained 
that  degree  of  efficiency  which  our  numbers  and  means  demand. 
Far  from  it.  But  each  returning  anniversary  witnesses  the  gradual, 
steady  developement  of  those  energies,  which,  when  fully  called  into 
exercise,  shall  accomplish  glorious  results  for  the  honor  of  our  Lord 
and  the  welfare  of  immortal  souls. 

"  Twenty-five  missionaries  were  appointed  during  the  year,  who 
have  been  actively  engaged  in  performing  their  official  duties  in 
fourteen  towns  and  villages,  and  forty-three  counties.  These 
brethren  are  wholly  devoted  to  the  work  of  the  ministry,  and  it  is 
believed  are  worthy  of  the  confidence  reposed  in  them. 

"  Who  can  estimate  the  results  of  this  missionary  labor  ?  No  finite 
mind  can  trace  them  in  all  their  boundless  magnitude  and  eternal 
progression.  But  even  as  now  seen,  they  exhibit  the  glorious 
success  of  the  gospel  in  the  conversion  of  souls  ;  the  formation  of 
new  churches  and  Sabbath  schools ;  increased  Christian  activity 
among  the  people  of  God ;  and  the  diffusion  of  more  correct  views

of  scripture  truth,  in  communities  heretofore  under  the  influence  of 
the  most  pernicious  errors. 

"  The  aggregate  of  the  labors  of  our  twenty-five  missionaries  is  as 
follows  : — Preached  2,865  sermons,  delivered  254  addresses,  baptized 
558  converts,  visited  2,607  families  for  religious  conversation  and 
prayer,  constituted  9  new  churches,  organized  7  Sunday  Schools, 
erected  two  houses  of  worship,  and  commenced  the  erection  of  seven 
others ;  circulated  249  Bibles  and  Testaments,  and  638  volumes  of 
religious  books  ;  collected  $1,212.31  for  the  General  Association. 

"  Between  500  and  600  persons  professed  conversion  at  meetings 
in  which  our  missionaries  labored,  who  were  baptized  by  the  pastors 
of  the  respective  churches. 

"  For  such  evidences  of  the  Divine  favor  as  are  here  exhibited,  we 
render  grateful  thanksgivings  to  God ;  and  with  devout  humility 
exclaim,  '  Not  unto  us,  O  Lord,  not  unto  us,  but  unto  thy  name  give 
glory,  for  thy  mercy,  and  for  thy  truth's  sake.' 

"  The  total  amount  of  funds  received  into  the  treasury  during  the 
year  was  $3,786.47 

Amount  expended,  $3,799.38 

WESTERN  VIRGINIA  BAPTIST  ASSOCIATION. 

"  The  annual  meeting  of  this  body  was  held  in  Fayette  county,  m 
August  last,  four  Associations  and  twelve  churches  being  represented. 
The  receipts  into  the  treasury  were  between  $300  and  $400. 

"  The  meeting  recommended  a  division  of  the  Association,  and  the 
organization  of  a  North  Western  Virginia  Baptist  Association, 
auxiliary  to  the  General  Association.  The  reasons  for  this  policy 
are  set  forth  in  the  printed  Minutes,  from  which  it  appears,  that 
'the  natural  divisions  of  Western  Virginia,  formed  by  extensive 
ranges  of  mountains,  separating  Middle  Western  Virginia  from  that 
portion  of  it  north  and  south,'  have  prevented  the  co-operation  of 
all  the  Baptists  of  Western  Virginia  in  one  general  organization. 
It  was,  therefore,  deemed  expedient  to  divide  the  body,  and  thereby 
secure  the  more  efficient  action  of  Western  Baptists." 

NORTH  WESTERN  VIRGINIA  BAPTIST  ASSOCIATION. 

"  A  communication  was  received  from  the  Board  of  this  Association 
in  December,  giving  information  of  the  organization  of  that  body  in 


VIRGINIA.  355 

November  last,  and  requesting  to  be  received  as  an  auxiliary  of  the 
General  Association.  The  Board  adopted  resolutions  approving 
the  organization  and  recognizing  the  N.  W.  V.  Association  as  an 
auxiliary  of  the  General  Association,  on  terms  of  union  similar  to 
those  connecting  us  with  the  Western  Association.

WISCONSIN. 

STATE     CONVENTION. 

BY   REV.    WILLIAM   ROLLLNSON. 

For  several  years  after  the  first  settlements  were  made  in 
Wisconsin,  there  were  no  churches  of  our  denomination.  Yet  in 
nearly  all  of  the  settlements  Baptists  were  to  be  found,  though  not 
sufficiently  numerous  to  be  gathered  into  organized  bodies.  A 
few  missionaries  of  the  American  Baptist  Home  Missionary  Society, 
traversed  the  Territory,  dividing  their  labors  between  the  most 
prominent  points. 

The  first  Baptist  church  in  the  Territory  of  Wisconsin,  was  formed 
at  Waukesha,  in  the  year  1837,  and  during  the  same  year  the  church 
at  Rochester  was  organized.  In  1838,  churches  were  formed  at 
Kenosha  and  Sheboygan.  In  1839 — 40,  seven  other  churches  were 
constituted.  Between  the  years  1840  and  1845,  twenty-one  new 
churches  were  organized  ;  between  1845  and  1850,  thirty-six  more 
were  formed,  and  in  1851  nine  were  constituted,  making  the  present 
number  of  Baptist  churches  in  the  State,  seventy-six,  with  a 
membership  of  a  little  more   than  four  thousand. 

A  comparison  of  the  statistics  of  1840  with  those  of  1850,  will 
show  the  growth  of  the  denomination.  In  the  former  year  there 
were  12  churches,  12  pastors,  335  members,  and  no  Baptist  house 
of  worship  in  the  State.  In  1850  there  were  reported  74  churches, 
57  pastors,  3,389  members,  and  25  church  edifices.  The  ratio  of 
Baptist  members  to  the  entire  population  was  in  1840  as  1  to  92, 
and  in  1850  as  1  to  90. 

The  sixth  anniversary  of  the  State  Convention  was  held  at  Racine, 
October  14,  1851.     Its  receipts  for  the  year  were  $375.43. 


OFFICERS  OF  THE  STATE  CONVENTION,  FOR  1851-2. 
Asher  Miner,  Warren,  President. 
Rev.  T.  S.  Griffith,  Milwaukie,  Secretary. 
C.  S.  Wright,  Treasurer.

PREFACE   TO   SUMMARY  TABLES. 


TnE  Tables  that  follow  have  been  prepared  with  great  care,  and  with  an 
amount  of  labor  that  will  not  be  appreciated,  except  by  those  who  have  at- 
tempted some  similar  work.  They  are  fuller  than  any  similar  returns  of  any 
Christian  denomination,  which  we  have  ever  seen.  They  faithfully  give  not 
simply  the  increase,  but  the  decrease,  from  all  causes,  of  membership  in  our 
churches.  The  footing  of  some  of  these  columns  may  suggest  grave  considera- 
tions to  thoughtful  minds.  It  will  be  seen  that  the  dismissions,  by  letter,  consid- 
erably exceed  the  receptions,  by  letter,  in  the  grand  total — thus  making  it  evident 
that  a  large  number  of  members  dismissed  from  our  churches  do  not  renew 
their  membership  in  other  churches.  It  is  gratifying,  however,  to  see  that  the 
balance  is  in  favor  of  some  of  our  Western  States,  showing  that  emigration  from 
the  east  is  strengthening  their  churches.  The  additions  by  restoration  and  ex- 
perience bear  no  fair  proportion  to  the  diminutions  by  exclusion  and  erasure — 
showing  that  the  large  proportion  of  those  thus  exscinded  from  membership  in 
our  churches  do  not  return.  "  They  went  out  from  us  because  they  were  not  of 
us."  The  erasures,  it  is  proper  to  say,  are  not  always  evidences  of  crime  or 
unfaithfulness,  but  generally  result  from  the  neglect  of  removing  members  to 
take  with  them  certificates  of  dismission.  The  additions  by  experience  show- 
that  a  considerable  number  of  these  again  secure  membership  in  the  churches, 
but  a  large  proportion  of  them  are  absolutely  lost  to  the  denomination.  The 
total  of  exclusions  is  at  the  same  time  humiliating  and  encouraging.  Humbled 
we  may  be  that  so  many,  who  are  unworthy,  gain  fellowship  among  us  ;  yet  en- 
couraged at  the  evidences  furnished  of  the  general  exercise  of  a  faithful  disci- 
pline, by  which  the  purity  and  consequent  efficiency  of  our  churches  is  secured. 
The  number  of  exclusions  is  a  proof  that  the  churches  will  not  tolerate  sin  in 
their  members.  Generally  among  us  discipline  is  scripturally  strict.  The  total 
of  baptisms  show  that  our  large  increase  is  secured  by  conversions  from  the  world. 

The  gain,  in  associations,  is  computed  by  subtracting  the  total  loss  from  the 
total  gain,  as  furnished  by  the  columns  of  diminutions  and  additions.  This 
method  does  not  always  accord  with  the  associational  returns,  inasmuch,  as  it 
does  not  generally  take  into  the  account  the  diminutions  from  churches  dis- 
missed, or  the  additions  from  new  churches  received,  the  current  year.  For  ex- 
ample :  an  association  may  have  dismissed  five  or  ten  churches  to  some  other 
association  ;  this  would  lessen  the  total  of  their  membership  :  but  the  remain- 
ing churches  may  have  increased  their  totals.  The  increase  is  given.  These 
five  or  ten  churches  may  be  reported  in  some  other  body.  The  increase  to  that 
body,  in  our  column  of  gain,  is  not  the  total  of  these  churches,  but  simply  the 
sum  of  their  increase.  In  other  words,  the  returns  of  the  separate  churches, 
and  not  strictly  of  associations,  furnish  the  basis  of  the  computation.  This  is 
the   onlv  method  we  could  adopt,  and  is  really  more  accurate  than  any  other.

PREFACE   TO    SUMMARY   TABLES.  381 

The  comparison  is  not  between  the  associational  returns  of  different  years,  but 
between  the  diminutions  and  additions  of  the  current  year. 

The  footing  in  the  column  of  gain  is  the  nett  gain  after  deducting  the  total 
of  loss.     The  only  State  in  which  there  has  been  a  nett  loss  is  Rhode  Island. 

Some  of  the  associations  have  churches  in  two  and  sometimes  three  States, 
organized  near  the  boundary  lines.  The  rule  has  been  in  all  cases,  to  enrol  the 
association  in  the  State  in  which  the  greatest  number  of  the  churches  is  located. 

It  will  be  seen  that  in  some  of  the  States  we  have  failed  to  secure  the  returns 
of  all  the  associations  for  1851.  Though  the  number  is  comparatively  few,  yet 
it  would  make  some  difference  in  the  sum  total.  Beside  this,  we  find  mention 
made  in  a  few  of  the  minutes,  of  the  names  of  corresponding  associations,  min- 
utes of  which  we  have  never  received,  and  of  the  existence  of  which  such  men- 
tion is  the  only  information  we  have  been  able  to  gain. 

The  Post-offices  of  Clerks,  as  well  as  of  Ministers,  is  very  frequently  omitted 
in  the  minutes.  It  is  sometimes  almost  impossible  to  discover  what  particular 
section  of  a  State  an  association  occupies.  It  seems  to  be  of  first  importance 
that  if  an  association  desires  any  correspondence  with  sister  associations, 
Post-office  addresses,  and  especially  those  of  the  Clerks,  the  official  correspond- 
ents, should  be  given. 

Where  the  name  of  the  Clerk  of  an  association  is  omitted,  it  is  on  account  of 
removal  or  death,  and  the  Post-office  given  is  that  of  the  Moderator.

TABLE— SABBATH  SCHOOLS. 
There  are  comparatively  few  of  our  Associations  that  report 
Sabbath  School  Statistics.  So  far  as  returns  are  found,  in  the 
Minutes,  they  are  given  in  the  following  table.  We  have,  of 
course,  done  but  little  more  than  present  blanks,  which,  we  hope, 
may  be  filled  out  in  future  years.

fervent  and  efficient  pleader  for  foreign  missions,  died  at  his  residence  in 
Homer,  N.  Y.,  May  10,  1851,  aged  70  years.  His  views  of  truth  were  clear, 
decided,  and  sound, — his  manner  of  preaching  fervid,  rapid,  forcible  and 
plain.  He  was  of  devout  spirit,  and  died  in  the  unclouded  assurance  of  a 
glorious  immortality.  When  too  weak  to  converse  with  freedom,  he  was  wont 
to  reply  to  inquiries  respecting  the  state  of  his  mind  :  "  I  am  almost  home,  Jesus 
is  precious."     "Peace."     "All  is  clear."     "  Not  a  cloud,  not  a  shade."

piety  and  of  great  promise.

ministers  of  Yirginia.  He  was  emphatically  a  great  man,  of  mighty  intel- 
lectual powers,  of  earnest  and  persuasive  eloquence  and  of  devout  and  gentle 
spirit.  For  more  than  sixty  years  he  labored  efficiently  in  the  ministry,  and 
died  in  the  86th  year  of  his  age.  Among  his  last  words  were  these,  "  Hark  ! 
See  !     The  angels  are  instructing  me  how  to  behave  myself  in  glory  !"

and  devoted  Christian,  and  an  able  and  successful  instructor.  His  labors  and 
sacrifices  for  Acadia  College  justly  entitle  him  to  a  high  place  among  its 
founders  and  greatest  benefactors,  and  his  invincible  perseverance  in  advancing 
the  interests  of  the  denomination,  will  cause  his  memory  and  labors  to  be 
cherished  with  admiration  and  gratitude.  He  was  accidentally  drowned  in

success.  He  finished  his  earthly  career  triumphing  in  his  Almighty  Saviour. 
He  was  greatly  beloved  by  the  people  of  God — their  universal  testimony  was,

Farnsworth,  Benjamin  F.,  D.  D.,  departed  this  life  near  Lexington,  Ky., 
May  4,  1851.  Dr.  Farnsworth  was  widely  known  in  the  East  as  well  as  in  the 
West,  as  an  educator  of  youth.  Saving  edited  the  "  Christian  Watchman,"  at 
Boston,  a  few  months,  he  became,  in  1826,  Principal  of  the  New  Hampton 
Literary  and  Theological  Institution.  The  seven  years  during  which  he  per- 
formed the  duties  of  this  office  were  certainly  the  most  pleasant,  if  not  the  most 
useful  years  of  his  life.  In  1833,  he  was  called  to  th  •  Presidency  of  George- 
town College,  Ky.  After  a  short  term  of  service  there,  he  established  a  Bcfa  iol

vious  to  his  decease.  One  day,  referring  to  his  protracted  sufferings  of  twelve 
years,  he  said,  "  A  long  sickness,  and  a  slow  death."  Being  asked  what  his  feel- 
ings were  in  prospect  of  death,  he  replied,  "  I  am  going  home  ;  my  home  is  in 
Heaven."  Dr.  Farnsworth  was  not  a  brilliant  man,  nor  was  he  always  wise  in 
his  plans.  But  he  had  a  large  heart,  and  accomplished  much,  especially  in  his 
first  years  of  public  service,  when  his  physical  strength  was  unimpaired.  Many 
hundreds  yet  living  remember  with  interest  and  gratitude  the  profit  they  de- 
rived from  his  care  and  instruction.

places,  and  especially  in  the  first,  he  acquired  an  unusual  influence  with  his 
people,  and  endeared  himself  to  them  by  his  amiable  temper  and  kind  spirit. 
The  same  traits  rendered  him  a  general  favorite  when  in  1841,  having  resigned 
his  pastoral  charge,  he  became  Editor  of  the  "  Christian  Reflector,"  published 
in  Boston.  He  was  eminently  successful  as  an  Editor,  until  a  pulmonary  dis- 
ease compelled  him  in  1846  to  remove  to  the  West  Indies.  Though  his  life 
was  doubtless  prolonged  by  this  removal,  he  gradually  declined,  and  in  the  sum- 
mer of  1850  returned  to  the  United  States  to  die.  His  last  days  were  days  of. 
cheerful  resignation  and  bright  hopes.  During  his  protracted  illness  he  had 
accustomed  himself  to  think  much  of  heaven  ;  and  as  death  drew  near,  he  wel- 
comed the  hour  of  his  departure,  saying,  "  It  is  better,  far  better  to  depart  and 
be  with  Christ."

EDUCATIONAL  DEPARTMENT. 


ALABAMA. 
HOWARD  COLLEGE,  MARION. 

BY   PROFESSOR   S.    S.    SHERMAN. 

The  importance  of  providing  for  the  education  of  the  ministry  was  felt  at  an 
early  period  by  some  of  the  leading  members  of  the  Baptist  denomination  in 
Alabama,  but  it  was  not  until  1833  that  any  decisive  measures  were  adopted 
by  the  Baptists  for  establishing  a  Seminary  of  learning.  At  the  session  of  the 
State  Convention  held  in  August  of  this  year,  a  special  committee,  appointed  to 
take  into  consideration  the  subject  of  ministerial  education,  reported  in  favor 
of  establishing  a  "  Seminary  of  Learning  on  the  Manual  Labor  Plan,  for  the 
education  of  indigent  young  men  called  to  the  ministry."  The  preliminary 
steps  were  immediately  taken  for  carrying  into  effect  the  suggestions  of  this 
committee. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  appointed,  purchased  a  farm  in  the  neighborhood  of 
Greensboro'.  The  necessary  buildings  were  erected,  and  the  Institution  was 
opened  for  the  reception  of  students  in  January,  1836.  The  enterprise,  however, 
proved  unsuccessful.  In  little  more  than  a  year  the  exercises  were  suspended, 
and  pecuniary  embarrassments  compelled  the  Convention  to  dispose  of  the 
property.  From  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  the  debts  were  paid,  and  a  balance  of 
Si, 754  remained  on  hand.  This  was  held  sacred  to  the  object  for  which  it  was 
originally  contributed,  and  subsequently  became  the  basis  of  the  present 
Theological  Fund  of  Howard  College. 

Ten  years  after,  the  Convention  resolved  "  to  establish  and  endow  a  College," 
and  in  connection  with  it  a  Theological  department.  A  Board  of  Trustees  was 
appointed,  and  Marion  selected  as  the  location.  The  friends  of  the  new 
enterprise  endeavored  to  profit  by  the  experience  of  the  past,  and  took  their 
first  steps  with  much  caution.  They  resolved  to  contract  no  pecuniary  liabilities 
beyond  their  available  means,  a  resolution  to  which  they  have  always  strictly 
adhered.  An  act  of  incorporation  was  obtained  in  December..  1841,  soon  after 
which  a  commodious  building  for  a  preparatory  school,  was  purchased  at  a  cost 
of  ?4,500,  and  paid  for.  The  funds  were  contributed  entirely  by  the  citizens 
of  Marion.     In  this  building  a  Classical  School  was  opened  in  January,  1842. 

In  November  following,  the  Board  of  Trustees  suggested  to  the  Convention 
the  propriety  of  commencing  the  endowment  of  the  Theological  department, 
believing  that  funds  would  be  more  cheerfully  contributed  for  this  object  than 
for  the  literary  branch  of  the  proposed  institution.  This  suggestion  was 
received  with  favor,  and  in  the  course  of  a  year  $20,000  were  raised,  a  sum 
sufficient  for  the  permanent  endowment  of  one  Professorship.  Rev.  Jesse 
Hartwell,  D.  D.,  was  elected  the  first  Professor  of  Theology  and  entered  upon 
his  duties  January,  1844. 

The  Board  now  began  to  direct  their  attention  to  the  ultimate  object  which 
the  Convention  had  in  view,  and  for  which  they  had  been  constituted,  viz.,  "to 
establish  and  endow  a  College."  The  increasing  number  of  students,  the 
demands  of  both  the  literary  and  theological  classes,  as  well  as  the  expectation 
of  the  public,  called  for  a  more  extensive  course  of  instruction,  and  the  four 

(421) 


422  AMERICAN   BAPTIST   REGISTER. 

usual  College  classes  were  accordingly  organised  in  1847.  The  first  class, 
consisting  of  seven  members,  graduated  in  July,  1848.  In  the  mean  time  a 
new  College  edifice  was  erected  at  a  cost,  including  lot,  of  $15,000  ;  apparatus 
was  purchased  at  an  expense  of  $2,600,  and  over  $20,000  were  raised  towards 
the  permanent  endowment  of  the  College. 

Since  its  organization  as  a  College,  the  institution  has  been  steadily  progressing 
in  means,  in  the  number  of  students,  and  in  the  confidence  of  the  public.  The 
last  report  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  shows  that  the  permanent  funds  now  amount 
to  about  $60,000,  the  interest  of  which  is  available  for  current  expenses.  By 
the  exercise  of  rigid  economy  in  all  expenditures,  this  and  the  proceeds  of 
tuition,  sustain  a  faculty  of  four  Professors,  a  Tutor,  and  a  Preparatory  Teacher. 

The  College  edifice  is  of  brick,  four  stories  high,  and  contains  a  chapel, 
laboratory,  recitation,  and  other  public  rooms,  and  several  dormitories  for 
students.  There  is  no  provision  for  a  steward's  hall,  and  the  students  board, 
and  most  of  them  lodge,  in  private  families,  an  arrangement  which  is  adopted 
in  preference  to  the  dormitory  and  commons  system. 

The  future  prospects  of  the  College  are  decidedly  encouraging.  The 
denomination  which  originated  it  is  rapidly  increasing  in  wealth,  in  numbers, 
and  intelligence.  It  is  gradually  developing  its  energies,  and  greater  harmony 
and  unanimity  prevail  in  all  its  counsels  and  efforts.  A  spirit  of  enlightened 
benevolence  and  liberality  is  becoming  general,  and  there  is  every  reason  to 
hope  that  the  Baptists  of  Alabama  will  soon  place  their  College  on  an  independent 
and  liberal  foundation.

JUDSON  FEMALE  INSTITUTE,  MARION. 

Tnis  institution  was  established  in  January,  1839,  under  the  direction  of  Rev. 
Milo  P.  Jewett.  In  1841,  an  act  of  incorporation  was  obtained  from  the 
Legislature,  granting  full  power  to  confer  diplomas  on  pupils  honorably 
completing  the  course  of  study  prescribed  by  law. 

In  the  autumn  of  1842,  a  tender  of  the  Institute  to  the  Alabama  Baptist 
State  Convention  was  made  by  its  founders  and  proprietors,  and,  at  the  next 
session  of  the  Convention,  in  1843,  this  transfer  was  formally  consummated. 
The  object  of  this  arrangement  was  to  promote  the  interests  of  education  at 
large  throughout  Alabama,  and  particularly  to  concentrate  upon  the  Institute 
the  affections  of  the  Baptist  denomination.  The  liberality  of  the  founders  in 
thus  relinquishing  their  right  to  an  exclusive  control  over  the  institution,  was 
duly  appreciated,  and  the  arrangement  has  been  productive  of  great  good.  The 
value  of  the  property  thus  placed  under  the  control  of  the  Convention  is  about 
$30,000. 

The  Seminary  edifice  presents  a  front  of  150  feet,  consisting  of  a  main 
building  four  stories  high,  and  two  wings,  each  three  stories — the  main  building 
extending  back  100  feet. 

The  Institute  is  provided  with  a  library,  cabinet  of  minerals,  shells,  &c, 
philosophical  apparatus,  maps,  books  of  reference,  &c.  The  classes  in  Chemistry 
and  Natural  Philosophy  attend  the  lectures  on  these  subjects  in  Howard 
College. 

The  course  of  study  is  comprehensive  and  thorough,  embracing  all  the  solid 
and  ornamental  branches  taught  in  the  highest  Female  Seminaries  in  the  United 
States.  The  best  professors  and  Teachers  are  employed  in  the  music  department, 
and  the  Dumber  of  pupils  on  the  piano,  harp,  guitar,  &c.,  is  about  one  hundred 
There  are  belonging  to  the  Institute  our  harp,  fourteen  pianos,  and  a  variety

various  solid  and  ornamental  branches,  a  Governess,  a  Matron  and  Nurse,  and 
the  Steward  and  his  lady. 

The  number  of  pupils  for  the  year  ending  August  1st,  1852,  was  one 
hundred  and  ninety — embracing  young  ladies  from  Alabama,  Mississippi, 
Arkansas,  Louisiana,  and  Texas. 

The  total  annual  expenses  for  board,  tuition,  books,  &c,  of  a  student  desiring 
a  diploma,  amount  to  two  hundred  dollars.  The  expenses,  per  annum,  of  a 
young  lady  pursuing  only  English  branches  with  music  on  the  piano,  are  8240. 

The  Judson  Female  Institute  having  been  conducted  with  great  success,  and 
for  a  longer  term  of  years  under  the  direction  of  the  same  Principal,  than  any 
other  Female  Seminary  in  the  Southern  States,  is  regarded  as  a  permanent 
institution,  a  Female  College,  in  the  highest  acceptation  of  the  term.  Hence, 
it  attracts  students  from  every  part  of  the  South  West,  and  commands  the 
patronage  of  intelligent  parents  and  guardians,  without  regard  to  religious 
denomination. 

The  Judson  Institute  derives  its  name  from  the  talented  and  heroic  Mrs. 
Ann  H.  Judson.  It  was  planted  in  prayer,  and  has  been  watered  with  tho 
tears  of  many  pious  parents,  who  have  invoked  on  it  the  choicest  blessings  of 
heaven.  These  fervent  supplications  have  not  been  in  vain.  Seven  distinct 
seasons  of  revival  of  religion  have  been  enjoyed  in  the  institution,  and  scarcely 
a  single  year  has  passed  without  witnessing  the  conversion  of  some  of  the 
pupils.  Of  the  sixty-eight  graduates,  fifty-two  are  hopefully  pious.  Most  of 
the  revivals  have  originated  in  the  ordinary  religious  instruction  imparted  in 
the  Institute,  or  in  the  labors  of  faithful,  pious  teachers.  The  usual  religious 
exercises  are — morning  and  evening  devotions  :  public  worship  on  the  Sabbath  : 
the  Sabbath  School  on  Sabbath  morning  ;  the  Bible  Classes  on  Monday  morning; 
the  meetings  of  the  Missionary  Society  on  the  first  Sabbath  of  every  month  ; 
and  the  prayer  meetings  held  by  the  pious  young  ladies  every  Sabbath  evening. 

It  may  not  be  unworthy  of  notice  as  one  of  the  prime  causes  of  the  prosperity 
of  the  Institute,  that  habits  of  system,  order,  industry,  economy,  and  punctuality 
are  most  rigidly  enforced  in  the  arrangements  and  discipline  of  the  School. 
A  uniform  dress,  simple  and  neat,  is  prescribed  ;  all  jewelry,  even  ear-rings  and 
finger-rings,  is  prohibited,  and  every  temptation  to  extravagance  is  removed.

EAST  ALABAMA  FEMALE  COLLEGE,  TUSKEGEE. 

The  Tuskegee  Association,  at  the  session  of  1850,  resolved  to  erect  a  Female 
College  in  the  town  of  Tuskegee.  The  most  flattering  success  has  attended  that 
effort.  The  walls  are  up,  and  the  building  nearly  ready  for  occupation.  It  is 
115  feet  long  by  65  wide,  and  four  stories  high,  with  a  recess  in  the  rear  of  70 
by  16  feet.  The  walls  are  of  brick  and  intended  to  be  stuccoed,  and  will  have 
about  40  rooms.  The  entire  cost  will  not  fall  far  short  of  $30,000.  About  24 
or  825,000  of  this  amount  has  already  been  raised.  The  School  has  been 
already  opened  in   some  rented  buildings,  and  the  Trustees  are  very  much

THE  CENTRAL  (COOSA)  ASSOCIATION 

Appointed  an  Executive  Committee  at  its  session  in  1851,  to  take  measures 
for  the  erection,  within  the  bounds  of  the  Association,  of  a  School  of  high 
character  for  the  education  of  males,  and  authorized  the  committee  to  have  it 
incorporated  and  established  at  an  early  day.

healthy,  and  the  neighborhood  distinguished  for  good  morals  and  enterprise. 
The  School  is  under  the  care  of  the  Rev.  Allen  M.  Scott.  A.M.,  assisted  by 
his  daughters.  It  was  opened  in  February,  1851,  and  now  numbers  about  one 
hundred  students.

CONNECTICUT  LITERARY  INSTITUTION. 

TnE  Connecticut  Literary  Institution  at  Suffebld,  was  established  in  1833. 
It  is  pleasantly  situated  in  a  beautiful  town  on  the  Wert  side  of  Connecticut 
River,  sixteen  miles  North  of  Hartford,  and  ten  miles  South  of  Springfield, 
Mass.    The  original  cost  of  the  grounds,  including  a  dwelling  house,  and  of 

the  erection  of  a  four-storied  brick  edifice,   wi  '.      This  amount  was

raised  by  subscriptions  throughout  the  State,  the  town  pledging  the  greatest 
sum,  to  have  the  institution  located  in  it.  Suffield  raised  $5000,  one  half  of  the 
■whole.  The  late  Rev.  G.  F.  Davis,  D.  D.,  of  Hartford,  was  one  of  the  most 
efficient  founders  of  the  Institution. 

A  few  years  ago  another  large  brick  building  was  erected  on  the  grounds  for 
a  Female  Department,  the  students  previously  being  males  only.  The  expense 
of  the  new  edifice  was  mostly  met  by  a  grant  of  $7500  from  the  State  Legis- 
lature. 

The  school  has  been  prosperous,  and  efficiently  useful  since  its  first  establish- 
ment. Many  young  men  resorting  to  it,  have  been  fitted  for  business  pursuits, 
for  College,  and  for  professional  life.  A  considerable  number  of  valuable 
ministers  in  our  denomination  commenced  their  classical  education  at  this 
Institution.  The  Female  Department  has  succeeded  admirably.  Frequent 
revivals  of  religion  have  been  enjoyed,  and  during  one  of  them,  several  years 
since,  and  in  answer  to  special  prayer,  every  impenitent  student,  rooming  in 
the  Institution,  was  hopefully  converted.  The  school  is  regarded  as  one  of  the 
very  best  of  its  kind  in  the  country.  The  instruction  is  varied,  ample,  and 
thorough. 

At  no  period  has  the  prosperity  of  the  Institution  been  better  than  at  present. 
Both  departments  are  crowded,  and  the  number  of  applicants  at  every  term 
is  greater  than  the  means  for  their  accommodation.  The  trustees  have, 
therefore,  resolved  on  the  erection  of  another  large  building,  with  other  im- 
provements. At  the  last  session  of  the  State  Legislature  a  further  grant  of 
§5000,  for  the  benefit  of  the  Institution,  was  obtained,  and  a  subscription  of 
810,000  is  now  being  raised  among  the  Baptist  Churches  of  the  State,  with 
flattering  prospects  of  complete  success.  The  number  of  students  in  the  pre- 
sent classes  is  120.  William  W.  Woodbury,  A.  M.,  is  the  Principal ;  C.  E. 
Hamlin,  A.  M.,  Associate  ;  Miss  Mary  L.  Kimball,  Preceptress.  Other  ex- 
cellent Teachers,  in  both  departments,  are  well  qualified  to  give  instruction 
in  all  the  branches  of  an  English,  classical,  and  ornamental  education. 

Essex  Female  Seminary,  in  the  beautiful  village  of  Essex,  near  the  mouth 
of  Connecticut  River,  is  an  excellent  institution.  Lucius  Lyon,  A.  M.,  is  the 
Principal.

GEORGIA. 
MERCER  UNIVERSITY. 

BY   REV.    B.    M.    SANDERS. 

One  of  the  prominent  objects  of  the  Georgia  Baptist  Convention  at  its  organ- 
ization in  1822,  was  the  education  of  young  men  whose  piety  and  gifts  for  the 
ministry,  in  the  judgment  of  their  churches,  indicated  the  Divine  will  that  they 
should  enter  upon  that  important  and  holy  service.  The  first  funds  reported 
for  the  education  of  such  young  men  were  collected  in  1825,  and  appropriated 
to  aid  in  the  support  of  three  young  brethren  under  the  instruction  of  Elder 
W.  T.  Brantly,  at  Augusta.  During  several  succeeding  years  beneficiaries 
were  sustained  under  the  instruction  of  Elder  James  Shannon,  at  Augusta ;  of 
Elder  Adiel  Sherwood,  at  Eatonton  ;  and  of  other  pastors  in  the  country  ;  also 
in  county  academies  and  at  College.  In  1831,  a  resolution  was  passed  by  the 
Convention,  that  "  as  soon  as  the  funds  will  justify  it,  this  Convention  will 
establish  in  some  central  part  of  the  State,  a  Literary  and  Theological  School, 
which  shall  unite  manual  labor  with  study,  admitting  others  besides  students 
in  Divinity."  The  Executive  Committee  were  instructed  to  solicit  funds,  and 
seek  a  suitable  location  for  the  contemplated  School,  and  to  report  to  the  next 
meeting  of  the  Convention. 

On  the  report  of  the  Committee,  at  the  session  in  1832,  that  a  suitable  loca- 
tion had  been  examined  by  them,  in  the  county  of  Greene,  containing  about 
450  acres  of  land,  and  $1500  subscribed,  sufficient  for  its  purchase  ;  they  were 
instructed  to  make  the  purchase,  and  to  adopt  measures  to  have  the  School  in 
operation  by  the  ensuing  January.  The  purchase  was  made,  temporary  build- 
ings erected,  and  the  School  opened  in  January  1833.  It  was  named  "  Mercer 
Institute,"  in  honor  of  Elder  Jesse  Mercer.  As  an  experiment  of  an  institution 
of  learning,  combining  manual  labor  with  study,  it  promised  favorably,  opening 
with  39  students,  all  but  three  boarding  on  the  premises.  The  second  year,  it 
numbered  nearly  80  students,  about  70  of  thorn  boarding  on  the  premises. 
This  Seminary,  thus  originated  and  fostered  by  the  Convention,  may  be  consi- 
dered the  germ  of  Mercer  University. 

In  1835,  the  organization  of  a  Southern  Baptist  College  was  agitated  in  the 
Georgia  Association,  and  reasons  urged  for  its  institution,  and  the  town  of 
Washington,  in  Wilkes  County,  suggested  as  a  suitable  location,  and  the  sub- 
ject referred  to  the  consideration  of  the  Convention.  At  the  ensuing  session 
of  the  Convention  in  1836,  this  subject  was  freely  discussed,  and  received  de- 
cided favor.  The  suggested  location  met  with  general  approbation,  and  a  Bi  tan  I 
of  Trustees  were  appointed  to  carry  it  into  effect.  This  Board  had  several 
meetings  for  deliberation  on  the  subject.  About  $35, 000  were  subscribed  in 
the  town  of  Washington  and  in  the  County  of  Wilkes,  for  its  establishment 
and  support.  A  beautiful  situation,  in  the  Buburbs  of  the  town,  was  tendered 
by  Elder  Jesse  Mercer  to  the  Trustoos  for  its  location,  in  addition  to  a  liberal 
contribution  by  him  to  its  funds.  A  charter  was  also  obtained.  But  afl 
such  difficulties  presented  themselves  in  the  way  of  the  Trustees,  that,  in  lv;7, 
they  resolved  to  refer  the  whole  matter  to  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Convention,  with  the  recommendation,  That  they  surrender  the  present 
Charter,  and  abandon  the  enterprise,   or  set  ou  foot  a  plan  that  will  command

the  resources  demanded  for  the  accomplishment  of  this  great  undertaking." 
Upon  the  surrender  of  this  Charter,  the  Executive  Committee  resolved  to 
connect  a  Collegiate  Department  with  the  Mercer  Institute,  to  be  called 
"  Mercer  University,"  embracing  literary  and  theological  instruction.  Early 
measures  were  taken  to  obtain  the  enlargement  of  the  Charter  of  the  Conven- 
tion, so  as  to  authorise  the  establishment  of  a  Collegiate  Institution.  This 
course  of  the  Executive  Committee  was  fully  approved  and  conlirmed  at  the 
en&uing  session  of  the  Convention  in  1838,  and  a  Board  of  Trustees  appointed 
for  the  management  of  the  University  in  the  terms  of  the  Charter.  Both  the 
Executive  Committee  and  Convention  were  encouraged,  in  the  adoption  of  these 
measures,  from  a  consideration  of  the  advantages  possessed  by  the  Mercer 
Institute  over  the  location  at  Washington  and  every  other:  1,  That  this  loca- 
tion would  best  harmonize  the  efforts  of  the  denomination  ;  2,  That  its  early 
patrons  had  in  view  its  ultimate  advancement  to  a  more  elevated  character  ; 
3,  That  the  investments  already  made,  in  land  and  buildings,  would  enable 
them  to  commence  collegiate  operations  at  an  earlier  day,  and  at  much  less 
expense,  than  at  any  other  location  ;  and,  finally,  that  the  existing  School  was 
in  a  prosperous  condition,  having  about  90  pupils,  and  several  of  them  pre- 
paring for  the  Freshman  and  Sophomoi'e  classes. 

Agents  were  appointed  to  secure  an  endowment  for  it,  a  Faculty  appointed, 
and  the  Institution  opened  in  the  beginning  of  1839,  in  its  new  character,  with 
95  students,  of  whom  14  were  in  the  Collegiate  Department.  The  manual 
labor  system  remained  connected  with  it  till  1845,  when  it  was  indefinitely  sus- 
pended. In  the  plan  adopted  for  the  organization  of  this  Institution,  in  its 
incipiency,  in  1832,  it  was  resolved,  that  "  no  debt  shall  be  contracted  by  the 
Executive  Committee  or  Trustees  on  the  credit  of  the  Institution,  without 
funds  in  hand  to  pay."  This  resolution  was  steadily  adhered  to,  and  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  in  their  report  to  the  Convention,  in  1839,  state  the  Uni- 
versity to  be  "  entirely  free  from  debt,"  -w^aile  by  the  liberality  of  its  friends, 
they  had  received,  in  subscriptions,  notes  and  cash,  about  §100,000,  of  which 
about  $50,000  were  invested  in  good  stocks. 

In  1837,  a  fund  of  about  $20,000  was  raised  by  the  Central  Association  to 
endow  a  Theological  Professorship,  which  was  shortly  after  turned  over  to  the 
Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University.  In  1844,  $10,000  in  Bank  stock  was 
received  from  the  estate  of  the  late  Elder  Jesse  Mercer,  for  the  Literary  Depart- 
ment of  the  University,  and  over  $20,000  for  the  Theological  Department. 

Immediately  after  the  determination  of  the  Executive  Committee  to  connect 
a  Collegiate  Department  with  the  Theological  Seminary,  lots  were  laid  off  con- 
tiguous to  the  Institution,  and  sold  to  the  amount  of  about  $10,000,  and  a 
village  formed  which  was  named  Penfield,  in  honor  of  the  late  Josiah  Penfield, 
of  Savannah,  whose  liberal  bequest  laid  the  foundation  of  the  permanent  fund 
for  the  education  of  pious  young  men  preparing  for  the  ministry.  The  general 
embarrassment  of  the  country,  a  few  years  after  the  contributions  for  its 
endowment  were  obtained,  terminated  in  the  loss  of  a  part  of  its  subscriptions  ; 
but  the  general  devotion  of  its  friends,  and  the  liberal  bequest  of  Elder  Jesse 
Mercer,  who,  during  his  life,  had  been  its  warm-hearted  patron,  has  secured 
for  it  a  respectable  endowment.  The  report  of  the  Trustees  to  the  Convention, 
at  its  session  in  1851,  shows  the  University  fund  for  the  Literary  Department 
to  be  $81,200  ;  Central  Association  Theological  Professorship  fund,  $18,400 ; 
Mercer  Theological  fund,  $21,500 ;  New  Theological  fund,  $450, — making  a 
permanent  fund  of  over  $121,000,  creating  an  annual  income  of  about  $10,096, 
beside  the  proceeds  of  tuition.  There  is  also  an  Education  fund  of  $30,850,  the 
interest  of  which  is  appropriated  to  the  support  of  beneficiaries. 

The  aforesaid  report  of  the  Trustees  further  states,  from  the  authority  of  the 
President  of  the  University,  "  that  the  number  of  students  during  the  year 
ending  July,  1851,  was  4  in  the  Theological  Seminary  exclusively,  75  in  the 
College  classes,  and  61  in  the  Preparatory  Department, — making  a  total  of  140. 
Of  these,  14  are  licentiates,  and  some  others  have  the  ministry  in  view."  The 
report  further  states  a  regular  increase  of  the  patronage  of  the  University. 
This  increase  since  the  report  has  still  been  continued,  especially  in  the  Col- 
legiate Department.

KENTUCKY. 

WESTERN  BAPTIST  THEOLOGICAL  INSTITUTE. 

BY    RET.    S.    W.    LYJTD,    D.  D. 

This  Institute  originated  in  the  Western  Baptist  Convention -which  held  its 
first  session  in  Cincinnati  in  1833.  At  the  annual  meeting  in  1843,  the  Convention 
organised  "  The  Western  Baptist  Education  Society,"  'which  consisted  of  those 
persons  who  contributed  annually  to  its  funds,  and  of  delegates  from  Education 
Societies  auxiliary  to  this  Society,  and  from  Associations  and  churches  which 
should  make  annual  collections  for  its  object.  The  constitution  of  the  Society 
required  that  the  Board  of  Directors  should  consist  of  at  least  two  members 
from  each  Western  State,  and  one  member  from  each  State,  a  part' of  which 
lies  west  of  the  Alleghanies,  and  from  each  organised  territory.  The  Board 
were,  soon  after  their  election,  to  choose  an  Executive  Committee,  who  were  to 
transact  the  business  appropriate  to  an  Education  Society,  that  is,  to  aid  young 
men  called  to  the  work  of  the  ministry,  in  procuring  a  theological  education. 
Engrafted  upon  their  duty  as  an  Education  Society,  was  the  power  to  take 
measures  for  establishing  a  Theological  School.  In  the  report  of  the  Executive 
Committee  to  the  Western  Baptist  Convention,  held  at  Cincinnati  in  1835,  they 
say — iCAs  soon  as  the  contemplated  institution  is  brought  into  operation,  it  is 
to  be  an  independent  concern,  governed  and  managed  by  its  own  Board  of 
Trustees.  The  Education  Society  will  have  no  necessary  connection  with  this, 
more  than  with  other  institutions  ;  but  will  devote  itself  to  the  education  of  those 
who  give  evidence  to  the  churches  of  which  they  are  members,  that  God  designs 
them  for  the  ministry,  at  those  institutions  where  they  can  most  conveniently 
prosecute  their  studies." 

For  several  years  the  principal  attention  of  the  Executive  Committee  was 
directed  to  the  establishment  of  a  Theological  School  for  the  Baptists  of  the 
Mississippi  Valley.  They  purchased  in  the  vicinity  of  Covington,  Kentuckv, 
370  acres  of  land  for  the  sum  of  832,250,  of  which  ninety  acres  were  shortly 
afterwards  sold  for  the  sum  of  $22,500,  leaving  280  acres  at  a  cost  of  $10,750. 
The  Institute  has  been  sustained  to  the  present  time  chiefly  upon  the  sale  of 
property  at  increased  prices.  The  contributions  in  money  have  been  comparatively 
small,  not  exceeding  in  cash  and  notes,  813,000,  of  which  Ohio  paid  $900  ; 
Kentucky,  through  the  late  Ephraim  Robbins,  for  several  years  General  Agent, 
whose  services  contributed  largely  to  the  prosperit}'  of  the  enterprise,  the  sum 
of  81,700  ;  and  the  balance  was  procured  mostly  from  the  State  of  Mississippi. 

In  the  year  1840,  the  School  was  chartered  by  the  Legislature  of  Kentuckv, 
and  the  property  which  was  held  in  trust  by  individuals  for  its  benefit,  was 
legally  conveyed  to  the  corporation  of  the  Western  Baptist  Theological  Institute. 
The  erection  of  buildings,  general  improvements,  and  other  causes,  delayed  the 
opening  of  the  school  until  the  year  1845.  The  first  President  was  Rev.  Robert 
E.  Pattison,  D.  D.,  who  was  Professor  of  Christian  Theology.  With  him  were 
associated  Rev.  E.  G.  Robinson,  Professor  of  Biblical  Criticism  and  Interpretation, 
Rev.  Asa  Drury,  Professor  of  Greek  Literature,  and  Rev.  Ebenezer  Podge, 
Teacher  in  Hebrew. 

Near  the  close  of  the  year  1847,  the  harmony  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  was 
interrupted,  and  difficulties  occurred  which  seemed  to  threaten  the  prosperity, 
if  not  the  existence  of  the  Institute,  the  causes  of  which  have  been  fully  laid 
before  the  public.  It  is  now  in  a  state  of  prosperity  exceeding  that  of  anv 
former  period.  The  land  that  still  remains,  if  rightly  managed,  it  is  supposed 
will  be  sufficient  to  endow  the  Institute,  and  procure  an  ample  library. 

The  present  officers  of  the  Institute  are.  Rev.  SamuelW.  Lyhd,  1».  D.,  President, 
and  Professor  of  the  Departments  of  Systematic  and  Pastoral  Theology  ;  Rev. 
Asa  Drury,  Professor  of  Ecclesiastical  History,  and  Greek  Literature:  Rev. 
Periander  C.  Scott,  Professor  of  Languages;  Robert  II.  Baker,  Professor  of 
Mathematics. 

No  person  can  be  admitted  to  the  benefits  of  the  Institute  unless  he  Isap]

and  comes  with  suitable  recommendations  from  at  least  one  well  known  minister 
of  the  Gospel,  of  his  piety,  and  of  other  qualifications  for  the  work.  Upon 
presenting  such  testimonials,  he  is  to  be  examined  by  the  faculty  in  relation  to 
his  Christian  experience,  call  to  the  ministry,  and  proficiency  in  study. 

The  regular  course  in  Theology  embraces  two  years.  To  enter  upon  it,  an 
education  equivalent  to  a  regular  College  coui'se  is  required,  and  a  fair 
knowledge  of  Hebrew  grammar.  Young  men  prepared  to  enter  the  Theological 
classes,  and  who  will  give  satisfactory  evidence  of  pecuniary  inability,  shall 
have  furnished  rooms,  board,  and  tuition  without  charge. 

Finding  that  there  is  a  strong  disposition  on  the  part  of  many  to  endeavor  to 
pass  by  the  regular  routine  of  education  in  a  College,  and  to  enter  the  Institute 
with  a  view  of  taking  a  Theological  course,  and  who  cannot  be  induced  to  go  to 
a  College,  the  Trustees  have  made  arrangements  to  extend  the  range  of  studies 
so  as  to  provide  for  literary  and  scientific  attainments  equal  to  those  obtained 
in  any  Western  College.  They  have  felt  this  to  be  their  only  remedy  against  a 
superficial  ministerial  education. 

The  course  taught  in  the  Institute  comprises  the  following  studies,  viz. : — 
English,  Latin,  Greek,  Hebrew,  Mathematics,  and  the  Natural  Sciences,  to  such 
extent  as  they  are  usually  pursued  in  Colleges,  The  student  can  enter  at  any 
point  in  this  course  which  shall  suit  his  previous  preparation,  and  while  engaged 
on  it,  he  shall  have  a  furnished  room  and  tuition  without  charge.

the  Kennebec,  which  flows  by  some  few  rods  in  its  rear.  Its  situation  is  cen- 
tral, and  altogether  one  of  the  most  eligible  in  the  State.  It  was  first  chartered 
by  Massachusetts,  before  the  separation  of  Maine,  as  a  Literary  and  Theological 
Institution,  in  1818.  In  1820  it  was  chartered  as  a  college  by  the  Legislature 
of  Maine,  and,  consequently,  has  been  in  existence  as  a  college  32  years.  Du- 
ring this  period  there  have  graduated  from  the  institution  some  three  hundred 
students,  and  about  a  third  as  many  more  have  been  partially  educated  there. 
Of  the  whole  number  educated  in  the  college,  about  one  quarter  have  devoted 
themselves  to  the  Gospel  Ministry.  The  college  is  respectably  endowed,  with 
libraries  of  10,000  volumes  or  more,  a  good  apparatus,  to  which  has  just  been 
added  a  valuable  equatorial  telescope  of  the  best  workmanship  and  construction. 
The  present  number  of  students  is  82,  and  the  Faculty  five,  viz. :  D.  N.  Sheldon, 
D.  D.,  President ;  G.  W.  Keely,  LL.  D.,  Professor  of  Mathematics,  and  Natural 
Philosophy  ;  Rev.  J.  R.  Loomis,  A.  M.,  Professor  of  Chemistry  and  Natural 
History  ;  Rev.  J.  T.  Champlin,  A.  M.,  Professor  of  the  Greek  and  Latin  Lan- 
guages, and  S.  K.  Smith,  A.  M.,  Professor  of  Rhetoric  and  Librarian.

NEWTON  THEOLOGICAL  INSTITUTION,  NEWTON. 

BY  REV".  H.    J.  RIPLEY,  D.  D. 

The  Newton  Theological  Institution  is  situated  on  a  beautiful  eminence  in  the 
town  of  Newton,  Mass.,  about  six  miles  west  of  Boston.  It  was  founded  in  the 
year  1825,  when  instruction  was  commenced  by  the  Rev.  Irah  Chase,  D.  D. 

It  is  strictly  a  professional  Seminary,  without  an  academical  or  a  collegiate 
department,  and  is  designed  for  instructing  in  theological  studies  graduates 
from  colleges,  and  others,  whose  literary  attainments  may  enable  them  to  pro- 
ceed profitably  with  graduates.  It  is  open  for  the  admission  of  those  persons 
only  who  give  evidence  of  their  possessing  genuine  piety,  with  suitable  gifts 
and  attainments,  and  of  their  being  influenced  by  proper  motives  in  wishing  to 
pursue  theological  studies,  and  who,  moreover,  present  certificates  from  the 
churches  of  which  they  are  members,  approving  of  their  pursuing  studies  prepar- 
atory to  the  work  of  the  Christian  ministry. 

It  has  four  departments  of  instruction,  namely,  Biblical  Literature  and  Inter- 
pretation, Christian  Theology,  Ecclesiastical  History,  Sacred  Rhetoric  and  Pas- 
toral Duties. 

The  department  of  Biblical  Literature  and  Interpretation  embraces  instruc- 
tion in  the  original  languages  of  the  Bible,  biblical  geography  and  antiquities, 
the  principles  of  interpretation,  and  the  interpretation  of  the  Scriptures  in  their 
original  languages  as  extensively  as  circumstances  will  permit,  together  with  a 
view  of  the  canonical  authority  of  the  Scriptures,  and  such  information  as  may 
constitute  an  appropriate  introduction  to  the  study  of  the  Sacred  volume.  In 
this  department  instruction  is  given  also  in  Chaldee  and  Syriac  to  students  who 
desire  it. 

In  the  department  of  Christian  Theology  a  course  of  instruction  is  given  on 
the  evidences  of  Christianity,  and  on  Christian  doctrines,  founded  on  the  Bible, 
systematically  arranged,  and  sustained  by  a  full  examination  of  all  the  impor- 
tant arguments  and  objections. 

To  the  department  of  Ecclesiastical  History  is  referred  instruction  on  the  his- 
tory of  Christianity,  from  the  birth  of  the  Saviour  till  the  present  period,  includ- 
ing a  view  of  the  spread  of  Christianity,  the  rise  and  influence  of  important 
errors,  and  the  origin  and  present  condition  of  the  different  denominations  of 
professed  Christians. 

In  the  department  of  Sacred  Rhetoric  and  Pastoral  Duties,  instruction  is 
given  on  the  principles  of  rhetoric,  as  applicable  especially  to  the  preparation 
and  delivery  of  sermons;  on  the  nature,  objects,  duties,  difficulties  and  supports 
of  the  pastoral  office  ;  and  on  the  government  and  discipline  of  the  church.

The  institution  is  under  the  care  of  a  Board  of  Trustees,  elected  according  to 
the  charter  granted  by  the  Legislature  of  Massachusetts.  The  Trustees  have 
also  provided  that  in  filling  half  the  vacancies  which  may  occur  in  their  num- 
ber, the  Baptist  State  Conventions  in  New  England  shall  be  requested  to  nomi- 
nate suitable  men  within  their  limits  respectively,  who  when  elected  by  the 
Board,  as  recpaired  by  the  charter,  may  participate  in  all  the  duties  and  respon- 
sibilities of  Trustees.  A  Board  of  Visitors,  who  are  also  an  Examining  Com- 
mittee, has  likewise  been  created  by  the  Trustees,  consisting  of  three  persons 
chosen  from  their  body  and  six  others  chosen  by  the  Boards  of  the  respective 
Baptist  State  Education  Societies  in  New  England. 

The  regular  course  of  instruction  occupies  three  years.  The  anniversary  oc- 
curs on  the  last  Wednesday  in  June. 

More  than  three  hundred  persons  have  enjoyed  the  advantages  of  this  Insti- 
tution, and  its  beneficent  influence  is  felt,  through  their  agency,  in  every  part 
of  our  own  land  and  in  heathen  countries. 

The  present  instructors  are,  Rev.  Henry  J.  Ripley,  D.  D.,  Professor  of  Sacred 
Rhetoric  and  Pastoral  duties  ;  Rev.  Hcratio  B.  Hackett,  D.  D.,  Professor  of 
Biblical  Literature  and  Interpretation  ;  Rev.  Robert  E.  Pattison,  D.  D.,  Pro- 
fessor of  Christian  Theology  ;  Rev.  Alvah  Hovey,  A.  M.,  Assistant  Instructor  in 
Hebrew. 

Temporary  provision  has  also  been  made  for  instruction  in  Ecclesiastical 
History. 

CHARLESTOWN  FEMALE  SEMINARY,  CHARLESTOWN. 

(See  Frontispiece.) 

This  Institution  is  situated  just  out  of  Boston  within  half  a  mile  of  the  line 
of  that  city.  It  was  incorporated  in  March,  1833,  having  been  instituted  two 
years  before. 

Its  design  is  to  furnish  facilities  for  a  complete  Female  Education,  Physi- 
cal, Intellectual  and  Moral,  and  its  patronage  always  having  been  liberal,  the 
means  have  been  furnished  to  carry  out  that  design  to  the  fullest  extent  of  the 
wishes  of  its  friends — and  this  without  a  single  dollar  of  donation,  either  for  its 
ample  and  commodious  buildings  ;  or  for  the  support  of  its  large  and  compe- 
tent Board  of  Teachers.  The  buildings,  apparatus  and  furniture  are  owned  by 
stockholders,  who  have  always  received  dividends  of  six  per  cent,  per  annum, 
and  this,  and  all  its  other  expenses  have  been  paid  by  the  tuition  of  pupils,  be- 
side furnishing  gratuitously  the  tuition,  constantly,  of  from  eight  to  twelve 
worthy  or  promising  daughters  of  Missionaries,  poor  ministers,  and  others,  who 
were  unable  to  pay  ;  and  yet  the  tuition  is  believed  to  be  lower  than  that  of  any 
similar  institution  in  any  city  of  the  Union. 

Its  trustees  and  superintendents  are  Baptists,  but  teachers  of  different  Reli- 
gious Denominations  are  employed,  and  it  has  always  received  the  patronage  of 
other  denominations  ;  sectarian  influence  being  scrupulously  avoided. 

It  has  now  in  attendance  over  two  hundred  pupils — all  it  can  conveniently 
accommodate — and  since  its  organization  has  had,  for  more  or  less  of  their  Ed- 
ucation, about  4500  different  pupils  from  almost  every  State  in  the  Union,  and 
from  the  British  Provinces,  the  West  Indian  Islands,  and  other  foreign  countries. 

The  incidental  religious  influence  of  the  teachers,  and  especially  of  the  Gov- 
erness, has  been  also  greatly  blessed.  Not  a  single  year  having  passed  without 
the  hopeful  conversion  of  some  of  its  pupils.  Accurate  statistics  on  this  subject 
cannot,  of  course,  be  given,  but  it  is  believed  that  not  less  than  from  twenty  to 
twenty-five  young  ladies,  on  an  average,  each  year,  since  its  organization,  have 
been  born  again  there.  There  are  now,  therefore,  not  much  less,  probably,  than 
five  hundred  ladies,  scattered  over  the  world,  who  date  their  Christian  experience 
to  influences  in  this  seminary.  Many  an;  wives  of  missionaries,  in  our  own  and 
foreign  lands — many  are  wives  of  ministers  of  different  denominations — many 
others  are  teachers,  and  others  are  occupying  different  stations  of  influence  and 
usefulness.

MICHIGAN. 

KALAMAZOO  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY. 

The  Kalamazoo  Theological  Semixary  was  originated  by  the  Baptist  Con- 
vention of  Michigan.  Funds  for  educational  purposes  were  among  the 
earliest  contributions  solicited,  and  appropriations  were  made  to  assist 
young  men  in  preparing  for  the  ministry.  The  subject  of  establishing 
a  Theological  Seminary  was  agitated,  discussed,  and  prayed  over,  for  several 
years. 

In  1845,  it  was  decided  to  establish  such  a  School.  In  1846,  the  location 
was  fixed  at  Kalamazoo,  forty-six  acres  of  land  purchased  for  a  site,  and  sub- 
scriptions opened  to  further  the  object.  In  1847,  collections  were  made, 
further  subscriptions  obtained,  and  preparations  made  for  building.  In  1848, 
the  walls  of  a  brick  edifice,  104  by  46  feet,  and  four  stories  high,  were  reared, 
and  the  building  partly  covered.  In  1849,  the  building  was  fully  inclosed,  the 
tower  finished,  and  theological  instruction  was  commenced,  in  a  building  in 
the  village.  In  1850,  a  portion  of  the  building  was  finished,  a  Library  ob- 
tained, and  instruction  commenced  in  the  Seminary  building,  with  one 
appointed  Professor,  and  one  who  rendered  gratuitous  assistance.  In  1851, 
the  first  Anniversary  Exercises  were  held,  when  two  young  men  graduated, 
one  of  whom  was  a  graduate  of  our  State  University,  an  additional  Theological 
Professor  was  appointed,  more  recitation  rooms  were  finished,  and  the  classical 
and  literary  department  was  opened,  by  the  Kalamazoo  Literary  Institute, 
with  three  Teachers. 

The  amount  received  for  the  education  cause  up  to  this  time  has  been 
about  §12,930  ;  the  expenditures  about  the  same — or,  indeed,  rather  more. 
The  funds  have  been  appropriated  for  purchasing  the  grounds,  which 
are  very  eligible,  erecting  the  building,  purchasing  the  library,  supporting 
teachers  and  agents,  and  assisting  indigent  students.  There  is  also  a 
subscription  of  over  S10,000,  to  be  paid  in  ten  annual  instalments,  and 
several  lots  of  [land  have  been  donated,  from  which  we  hope  to  realize  some- 
thing hereafter. 

Of  these  funds,  something  over  §1,000  was  raised  in  the  Eastern  States  for

a  Library.  A  benevolent  lady  in  Connecticut  has  paid  several  hundred  dollars 
towards  a  foundation  of  one  thousand  dollars  for  a  scholarship,  and  the  pay- 
ment of  the  rest  is  secured. 

A  friend  in  Illinois  has  also  subscribed  two  hundred  and  fifty  dollars 
towards  a  fund  for  the  encouragement  of  rhetorical  excellence.  Nearly  all 
the  remaining  contributions  have  been  in  our  own  State.  Scarcely  a  church 
can  be  found  which  has  not  contributed  something.

Theology.

MISSOURI. 

WILLIAM  JEWELL  COLLEGE,  LIBERTY,  CLAY  CO. 

In  1843,  at  the  eighth  session  of  the  Missouri  General  Association,  Dr.  Wm. 
Jewell  of  Columbia,  proposed  to  give  $10,000,  provided  $30,000  were  raised  for 
the  establishment  of  a  denominational  College  in  Missouri. 

Nothing,  however,  was  definitively  accomplished  until  1847,  when  the 
subject  was  again  taken  up  by  the  General  Association,  and  a  Provisional 
Committee  was  appointed.  In  1848,  this  Committee  reported  that  they  had 
employed  agents  who  had  secured  a  subscription  of  nearly  $17,000,  for  the 
establishment  of  a  College.  In  1848-9,  a  charter  was  obtained  from  the  State 
Legislature.  On  the  21st  of  August,  1849,  the  subscribers  met  at  Boonville, 
and  resolved  to  locate  the  Institution  at  Liberty  and  to  name  it  "  William 
Jewell  College."  Ten  thousand  dollars  in  lands  were  conveyed  to  the  Trustees 
of  the  College  by  Dr.  Jewell.  The  entire  subscription  as  reported  to  the 
General  Association  in  1849,  amounted  to  $59,432. 

About  ten  acres  of  land — an  elevated  and  beautiful  site — were  secured  in 
the  town  of  Liberty,  and  a  brick  edifice,  120  by  90  feet,  three  stories  high,  has 
been  erected,  containing  besides  recitation  rooms,  society  rooms,  &c,  a  large 
chapel  with  galleries. 

The  College  was  opened  January  1st,  1850,  and  gives  promise  of  prosperity 
and  permanency.  One  hundred  and  thirty-seven  students  were  in  the  Institu- 
tion in  1850-1.

NEW   HAMPSHIRE. 

NEW  HAMPTON  LITERARY  AND  THEOLOGICAL  INSTITUTION, 
NEW  HAMPTON. 

The  Institution  was  founded  in  1825.  It  received  an  extended  patronage  the 
first  three  years — but  the  exact  numbers  are  not  known.  In  1829  there  were 
two  hundred  and  thirty-three  different  students.  In  1830,  two  hundred  and 
seventy  ;  in  L831,  two  hundred  and  twenty-six;  in  1832,  three  hundred  and 
fourteen.  Eleven  fitted  for  the  ministry  under  Rev.  B.  F.  Farnsworth,  D.  D. 
Since  1833,  the  commencement  of  the  instruction  of  the  present  principal,  the 
whole  number  who  have  enjoyed  its  advantages  is  six  thousand  and  twenty- 
nine.  The  average  yearly  attendance  has  been  three  hundred  and  sixteen — 
one  hundred  and  seventy-two  males  and  one  hundred  and  forty-four  females  ; 
the  whole  number  of  theological  students,  one  hundred  and  fifty-eight ;  the 
average  yearly  attendance,  twenty-eight.  Of  these,  sixty-one  have  come  from 
New  Hampshire:  fifty  from  Massachusetts;  seventeen  from  Vermont;  sixteen 
from  Maine;  seven  from  New  York  ;  four  from  Connecticut ;  four  from  Canada 
East  and  one  froru  New  Jersey.  Eighty-one  are  now  preaching  the  gospel ; 
seventy-nine  during  the  whole  period  have  fitted  for  other  institutions  who  had 
the  ministry  in  view.  The  number  of  students  hopefully  converted  at  the  In- 
stitution has  been  about  seven  hundred.  The  number  of  students  for  the  pres- 
ent year,  is  as  follows :  Female,  one  hundred  and  forty-one  ;  English,  one  hun- 
dred and  twenty ;  Classical,  fifty ;  Theological,  eighteen.  Total,  three  hundred 
and  twenty-nine. 

The  Female  Department  and  also  the  English  and  Classical  Departments,  are 
supported  at  present  by  their  own  resources ;  the  tuition  is  to  pay  the  expenses 
by  an  arrangement  with  the  instructors. 

The  theological  professors  are  dependent  for  their  support  on  other  funds, 
raised  especially  for  that  object.  The  design  entered  upon  and  prosecuted  with 
some  success,  is  to  collect  a  permanent  fund  of  twenty  thousand  dollars,  the  in- 
terest of  which  would  be  sufficient  for  their  support.  For  the  present,  to  sus- 
tain these  professors,  a  subscription  of  five  hundred  dollars  annually  for  five 
years  has  been  nearly  filled  to  sustain  one.  There  then  will  lie  the  income  of 
that  part  of  the  permanent  arid  already  invented  towards  sustaining  the  other  ; 
the  balance  of  which  it  will  be  necessary  to  secure  from  other  sources.

MADISON  UNIVERSITY. 

The  germ  of  Madison  University  is  to  be  found  in  the  Incorporation  of  "  The 
Baptist  Education  Society  of  the  State  of  New  York."  On  the  24th  September, 
1817,  thirteen  brethren  met  at  the  house  of  Deacon  Jonathan  Olmsted,  in 
Hamilton,  Madison  County,  N.  Y.,  and  formed  themselves  into  a  Society  under 
the  name  above-mentioned.  Their  chief  treasures  were  in  their  faith  and 
prayers.  Each  member  was  required  to  pay  one  dollar,  as  a  condition  of 
membership  ;  at  the  close  of  the  meeting,  therefore,  the  amount  of  funds  in 
their  treasury  was  thirteen  dollars. 

The  object  of  this  organization,  as  it  is  distinctly  stated  in  the  preamble 
of  its  charter  granted  by  the  Legislature,  5th  March,  1819,  is,  "to  educate 
pious  young  men  to  the  Gospel  ministry." 

In  the  Autumn  of  1819,  the  Education  Board  made'the  village  of  Hamilton, 
the  permanent  seat  of  the  "  Seminary,"  by  virtue  of  a  contract,  of  which  the 
condition  was,  that  the  friends  of  this  location  were  to  pay  to  the  Society  the 
sum  of  $6,000.  This  sum  was  actually  paid,  and  the' receipt  thereof  duly 
acknowledged. 

The  work  of  educating  students  to  the  Gospel  ministry,  commenced  as  early 
as  the  14th  of  February,  1818.  Jonathan  Wade,  now  a  very  worthy  and  cele- 
brated missionary  in  Asia,  was  the  pupil  first  received.  In  this  introductory 
school,  Rev.  Daniel  Hascall  gave  instruction  in  the  English,  the  Latin,  and  the 
Greek  Languages,  and  Rev.  Nathaniel  Kendrick  in  Theology. 

But  in  the  Spring  of  1820,  the  "  Seminary"  was  formally  opened  and  in- 
structed under  Professor  Hascall  as  Principal.  This  Institution  of  learning 
has  preserved  its  identity,  though  it  has  borne  different  names,  to  wit,  "  School," 
"  Seminary,"  "  Hamilton  Literary  and  Theological  Institution,"  and,  finally, 
"  Madison  University," — all  of  which,  have  been  applied  to  it  on  the  occasion

of  certain  modifications  which  have  taken  place  in  the  progress  of  its  im- 
provement. 

In  the  year  1829,  the  course  of  studies  was  extended  to  four  years,  in  1831 
to  six,  and  in  1833,  an  eight  years'  course  of  studies  was  projected.  In  1835, 
the  first  senior  collegiate  class  completed  its  course  of  studies.  In  1837-8,  for 
the  first  time,  the  three  departments,  viz.  :  Theological,  Collegiate,  and  Acade- 
mic, were  fully  developed,  the  complement  of  classes  organized,  the  English  and 
Scientific  departments  harmonized  with  the  Classical,  two  distinct  Theological 
courses  established,  the  one  adapted  to  the  qualifications  of  students  from  the 
English  and  Scientific  course,  and  the  other,  to  those  who  had  completed  the 
full  six  years'  course  of  regular  Classical  studies. 

In  March,  1846,  the  Education  Society  petitioned  the  State  Legislature  for 
a  University  charter,  and  obtained  it.  By  virtue  of  this  instrument,  the  Uni- 
versity is  empowered  to  confer  literary  honors,  degrees,  and  diplomas,  its 
literary  and  scientific  department  is  subject  to  the  visitation  of  the  Regents  of 
the  University  of  the  State  of  New  York,  and  it  is  entitled  to  a  share  of  State 
patronage.

UNIVERSITY  OF  ROCHESTER. 

This  Institution  was  founded  in  1850,  and  has  already  taken  rank  with  the 
oldest  and  best  endowed  Colleges  in  the  country.  An  endowment  of  $150,000 
has  been  subscribed,  chiefly  in  the  State  of  New  York. 

The  plan  of  instruction  is  so  adjusted  as  to  allow  any  who  choose,  to  omit 
the  study  of  Latin  and  Greek,  either  throughout  the  whole  course,  or  after  the 
Sophomore  year  ;  substituting  in  their  stead  Modern  Languages  and  a  more 
extended  Mathematical  and  Scientific  course.  The  regular  course  for  all  stu- 
dents extends  through  four  years,  at  the*  end  of  which  time,  those  who  sustain 
a  good  examination  are  -admitted  to  a  degree  ;  those  who  have  pursued  the 
entire  classical  course,  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  ;  and  those  who  have 
pursued  the  entire  scientific  course  to  that  of  Bachelor  of  Sciences. 

Large  and  valuable  additions  have  lately  been  made  to  the  Library  of  the 
University,  including  4,500  volumes  from  the  Library  of  Dr.  Neander  of  Berlin. 

The  Rochester  Theological  Seminary  under  the  control  of  the  "  New  York 
Baptist  Union  for  Ministerial  Education,"  is  connected  with  the  University. 
An  endowment  of  $73,500  has  been  subscribed,  with  the  intention  of  raising 
$100,000. 

A  Grammar  School  has  been  organised  by  the  Trustees,  with  special  refer- 
ence to  the  preparation  of  students  for  the  University. 

The  annual  Commencement  of  the  University  is  on  the  second  "Wednesday  of 
July.  There  are  three  vacations  in  each  year  as  follows: — one  of  one  week 
including  the  winter  holidays,  one  of  three  weeks  from  the  first  Wednesday  in 
April,  and  one  of  eight  weeks  immediately  after  commencement.

FAIRMOUNT  THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARY,  CINCINNATI. 

BY   REV.   JOHN   STEVENS. 

The  Fairmount  Theological  Seminary  was  established  by,  and  is  to  be  under 
the  control  of,  the  "Western  Baptist  Education  Society.  This  Society  was  or- 
ganized at  Cincinnati,  Nov.  10,  1834,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  Western 
Baptist  Convention,  then  in  session  in  the  city.  Its  object,  as  declared  in  the 
constitution,  was  "  the  education  of  those  who  give  evidence  to  the  churches  of 
which  they  are  members,  that  God  designs  them  for  the  ministry."  Its  aim 
was  to  embrace  within  the  sphere  of  its  operations,  the  whole  Mississippi  Val- 
ley and  its  first  effort  towards  the  accomplishment  of  its  object,  resulted  in  the 
establishment  of  what  is  now  the  "  Western  Baptist  Theological  Institute," 
located  in  Covington,  Ky.  The  assumption  of  the  exclusive  contral  of  the  In- 
stitute, by  Kentucky,  in  1849,  and  the  insuperable  difficulties  that  seemed  to 
forbid  the  hope  of  co-operation  between  the  North-west  and  South-west  in  an 
enterprise  of  this  character,  together  with  the  large  extent  of  country,  and  the 
numerous  body  of  churches  that  would  otherwise  be  unprovided  for,  determined 
the  Society  at  its  annual  meeting,  June,  1848,  to  enter  upon  measures  prelimi- 
nary to  the  establishment  of  a  new  Seminary  for  the  North-western  States. 
Early  in  the  ensuing  year,  a  committee  appointed  for  this  purpose  secured,  from 
the  Fairmount  Land  Company,  an  offer  of  30  acres  of  ground,  estimated  to  be 
worth  §35,000,  as  the  site,  and  for  the  use  of  the  proposed  seminary.  A  large 
Convention  of  delegates  and  individuals,  chiefly  from  Ohio  and  Indiana,  held 
in  Cincinnati,  Oct.,  1849,  recommended  the  establishment  of  the  seminary  on 
the  offered  site  at  Fairmount,  and  the  raising  by  voluntary  subscriptions  and 
donations,  in  addition  to  the  30  acres  of  land  granted  by  the  said  company,  of 
the  sum  of  §50,000,  as  an  endowment  and  for  the  purpose  of  erecting  suitable 
buildings.  The  enterprise  had  been  previously  recommended  by  the  State  Con- 
ventions of  Ohio,  Indiana,  and  Illinois,  and  by  several  district  associations.  The 
Society  is  now  engaged  in  carrying  the  recommendations  of  the  Convention  into 
effect.  Towards  the  proposed  endowment  and  building  fund,  the  sum  of  over 
$20,000  has  already  been  secured  in  pledges,  and  partly  paid,  and  the  work  is 
going  forward. 

The  Seminary  edifice  is  erected,  and  nearly  completed,  at  an  estimated  cost 
of  nearly  $20,000.  It  is  in  the  Gothic  style,  four  stories  high,  above  the  base- 
ment, 112  feet  8  inches  in  length,  and  in  its  greatest  breadth  54  feet  8  inches. 
The  basement  contains  sixteen  good,  well-lighted  rooms,  with  a  wide  hall  ex- 
tending through  the  whole  length  of  the  building,  affording  ample  accommoda- 
tions for  a  janitor,  dining-hall,  store  rooms,  baths,  &c.  The  edifice  also  con- 
tains a  chapel  44  by  41  feet,  25  feet  high,  lecture  rooms,  a  library  room  40  by 
25  feet,  and  study  rooms,  and  dormitories  for  the  accommodation  of  40  students. 
The  height  of  the  stories  is,  basement  11  feet,  the  first  and  second  stories  above 
the  basement  12  feet  each,  the  third  and  fourth  stories  11  feet  each.  The  roof 
is  to  be  surmounted  with  an  observatory,  commanding  a  wide  and  beautiful 
prospect. 

The  site  is  the  principal  elevation  of  Fairmount,  130  rods  west  of  the  north- 
west corner  of  the  corporate  limits  of  Cincinnati,  and  about  two  and  a  half 
miles  north-west  of  the  city  Court  House.  It  is  about  400  feet  above  the  low 
water  mark  of  the  Ohio  river,  and  about  300  feet  above  the  principal  level  of 
Cincinnati.  It  enjoys  a  pure  and  healthful  atmosphere,  and  is  a  spot  of  great 
natural  beauty,  commanding  a  full  view  of  the  Mill  creek  valley,  from  the  Ohio 
river  some  seven  or  eight  miles  northward  ;  of  the  entire  city  of  Cincinnati  as  it 
spreads  towards  the  south-east ;  of  the  cities  of  Covington  and  Newport  on  the 
south  bank  of  the  river,  and  of  the  elevated  lands  environing  the  city  for  many 
miles  around.  • 

It  is  hoped  to  open  the  Seminary  for  students  in  the  autumn  of  1852.

PENNSYLVANIA. 

UNIVERSITY  AT  LEWISBURG. 

This  Institution  is  located  at  Lewisburg,  Union  County,  Pennsylvania.  It  is 
on  the  West  branch  of  the  Susquehanna,  eight  miles  North  of  the  junction  with 
the  North  branch  at  Northumberland.  The  location  is  in  the  midst  of  a  re- 
gion of  country  unsurpassed,  for  beauty  and  fertility,  by  any  in  the  State.  It 
is  easy  of  access  from  Philadelphia,  Baltimore,  or  Pittsburg,  by  means  of  the 
rail  roads  from  these  places,  which  convey  passengers  to  the  junction  of  the 
Juniata  and  Susquehanna  canals,  seventeen  miles  West  of  Ilarrisburg,  whence 
they  proceed  by  packet  to  Lewisburg.  The  passage  from  Philadelphia  or 
Baltimore,  is  made  in  about  eighteen  hours,  and  by  the  opening  of  the  pro- 
posed continued  rail  road  to  Erie,  will  be  reduced  to  eight  or  ten  hours. 

The  University  was  chartered  by  the  Legislature  of  Pennsylvania  in 
February,  1846.  The  provisions  of  the  Charter  are  such  that  the  Depart- 
ments of  Theology,  Medicine  and  Law  may  all  be  established,  when  cir- 
cumstances may  demand.  At  present,  only  the  Scientific  and  Literary  courses 
are  established. 

The  Charter  was  to  become  effective  when  a  valid  subscription  of  $100,000 
should  have  been  raised.  The  raising  of  the  subscription  was  commenced  by 
the  first  General  Agent,  S.  W.  Taylor,  A.  M.,  and  was  vigorously  prosecuted 
by  the  Rev.  E.  Kincaid  and  the  Rev.  W.  Shadrach.  It  was  completed  in  the 
month  of  January,  1849,  when  a  Board  of  Trustees  was  elected,  and  the 
Institution  commenced  its  legal  existence.  The  Board  of  Trustees  have  since 
been  carrying  the  enterprise  forward  with  commendable  energy  and  zeal. 

In  the  month  of  October,  1846,  the  Provisional  Committee,  who  had  the 
control  of  all  the  incipient  movements,  resolved  to  open  a  Sigh  SVhdol  at 
Lewisburg,  preparatory  to  the  University.  They  appointed  S.  W.  Taylor, 
A.M.,  who  had  hitherto  been  their  General  Agent,  Principal  of  the  School. 
He  was  assisted  during  the  first  year  by  his  son,  Alfred  Taylor,  A.B.  The 
increasing  number  of  students  made  it  necessary  in  the  following  year  to  call 
in  further  aid,  and  the  services  of  I.  N.  Loomis,  A.  B.,  were  secured. 

In  1848,  S.  W.  Taylor,  A.  M.,  was  elected  Professor  of  Mathematics  and 
Natural  Philosophy,  which  post  he  retained  until  August,  L851,  when  he 
resigned  to  enter  another  sphere  of  labor.  In  the  year  1849,  the  Rev.  George 
R.  Bliss,  A.  M.,  was  chosen  Professor  of  the  Greek  Language  and  Literature, 
and  George  W.  Anderson,  A.  M.,  Professor  of  the  Latin  Language  and  Litera- 
ture. Under  the  direction  of  Professors  Taylor,  Bliss,  ami  Anderson,  the 
University  continued  to  increase  in  numbers.  In  the  month  of  August,  1851, 
the  1st  class,  of  seven,  was  graduated  with  credit  to  themselves  and  with  honor 
to  their  alma  mater. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  in  August*  L851,  the  following 
Officers  were  elected: — Rev.  Howard  Malenm,  I'.  I'..  President:  Charles 
Sexton  James,  A.M.,  Professor  of  Mathematics  ami  Natural  Philosophy,  in 
place  of  Professor  Taylor,  resigned  ;  and  Altyed  Taylor,  A.  ML,  Pri 
of  Belles  Lettres.  The  corps  of  officers  was  thus  tilled  nut.  The  Trusters 
have   thus  collected   an    able  and  efficient  Faculty,  ami  made  ample  provi-

sion  for  the  succesful  prosecution  of  a  thorough  literary  and  scientific  course 
of  studies.  . 

In  providing  buildings  for  the  Institution,  after  Lewisburg  had  been  deter- 
mined on  as  a  location,  the  first  care  was  to  obtain  a  lot  at  once  ample  in  size 
and  happy  in  adaptedness.  The  Trustees  were  fortunate  in  obtaining  forty 
acres  of  land,  embracing  the  highest  ground  near  the  village,  commanding  a 
very  extensive  prospect  and  securing  the  purest  air.  A  natural  grove  fur- 
nished, without  delay,  a  delightful  shade.  Here  buildings  have  been  erected, 
designed  by  T.  U.  Walters,  Esq.,  the  distinguished  Architect  of  Girard  College, 
and  embracing  admirable  facilities  in  all  respects.  All  the  rooms  are  warmed 
by  hot  air  furnaces.  Students  study  two  in  a  room,  but  each  has  a  sepai'ate 
bedroom  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  passage.  No  commons  are  provided,  but 
the  students  take  their  meals  at  boarding-houses  in  town,  approved  by  the 
faculty.  By  this  plan  much  disorder  is  prevented,  better  manners  are  pre- 
served, and  many  causes  of  complaint  obviated.  Hitherto  the  deportment  of 
the  studeffts  has  been  very  exemplary. 

The  usual  College  course  is  pursued  and  thoroughly  insisted  on,  but  the 
studies  are  so  adjusted  as  that  by  a  three  years'  course  a  student  may  obtain 
all  the  benefits  of  "the  Institution,  except  either  the  Latin  or  Greek  language. 
In  the  former  course  he  obtains  the  usual  degree  of  A.  B.,  and  in  the  latter  the 
diploma  of  Bachelor  of  Philosophy.  Moreover  persons  who,  by  age  or  other 
circumstances,  are  debarred  from  either  of  these  courses,  are  allowed  to  pursue 
any  branches  of  study  taught  in  the  regular  classes,  and  thus  to  employ  profit- 
ably even  a  single  year  at  the  Institution. 

In  regard  to  philosophical  instruments,  few  of  our  older  Colleges  are  as  well 
provided.  They  were  purchased  under  the  direction  of  Professor  Taylor,  and 
supply  every  requisite  facility  in  the  elucidations  required. 

While  this  Institution  claims  attention  as  a  College  of  high  grade  and 
diversified  studies,  the  Preparatory  Department  offers  great  attractions  as 
an  Academy  and  Boarding  School  for  Boys.  It  has  a  separate  edifice, 
of  ample  dimensions,  eighty  feet  by  sixty,  and  three  stories  high,  and 
able  Teachers,  devoted  to  it  exclusively,  under  the  general  supervision  of 
the  President.

RHODE    ISLAND. 
BROWN  UNIVERSITY. 

The  oldest  College  in  the  United  States  under  the  control  of  the  Baptists  was 
chartered  in  1704,  with  the  name  of  Rhode  Island  College.  It  was  originally 
established  in  the  town  of  Warren,  where  the  first  commencement  was  celebrated 
in  1769.  It  was  subsequently  removed  to  Providence,  where  the  first  College 
edifice  (University  Hall)  was  erected  in  1770.  In  consequence  of  a  liberal 
donation  from  Hon.  Nicholas  Brown,  in  the  year  1804,  the  corporation  determined 
that  the  College  be  called  in  all  future  time,  "  Brown  University." 

There  are  now  four  College  buildings  besides  the  President's  house.  The 
Library  contains  more  than  24,000  well  selected  volumes.  A  large  proportion 
of  these  have  been  purchased  within  the  last  few  years,  with  special  reference 
to  the  wants  of  gentlemen  engaged  in  literary  and  scientific  pursuits.  It  is 
constantly  increasing  from  the  proceeds  of  a  permanent  fund  of  325,000, 
established  for  this  purpose  in  1839.  The  Library  is  open  four  hours  daily, 
from  9  a.  m.,  till  1  p.  m. 

In  March,  1850,  the  corporation  resolved  to  obtain  the  sum  of  $125,000  for 
the  University,  proposing  material  changes  in  the  system  of  instruction,  and  an 
extension  of  the  range  of  studies.  At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  corporation 
in  September  following,  the  committee  appointed  to  raise  this  sum,  reported 
that  their  efforts  had  been  crowned  with  success,  and  the  whole  sum  subscribed. 
By  the  aid  thus  rendered,  four  Professors  have  already  been  added  to  the 
previous  number  of  instructors ;  the  support  of  all  the  officers  has  been  placed 
on  a  permanent  basis ;  improvements  have  been  made  in  the  Lecture  rooms  ;  a 
department  of  Civil  Engineering  has  been  established,  and  furnished  with  the 
necessary  instruments  and  apparatus ;  and  a  Laboratory,  believed  to  be  second 
to  none  in  the  country,  prepared  for  analytical  chemistry,  or  chemistry  applied 
to  the  arts.  ♦ 

The  regular  degrees  conferred  in  this  University  are,  Bachelor  of  Philosophy, 
Bachelor  of  Arts,  and  Master  of  Arts.  The  degree  of  A.  M.  is  intended  for 
those  students  who  desire  to  pursue  a  full  course  of  liberal  education.  The 
degree  of  A.  B.  is  designed  especially  for  those  who  desire  to  prepare  themselves 
for  the  different  professions,  and  yet,  from  unavoidable  circumstances,  are  unable 
to  pursue  a  complete  course  of  liberal  education.  The  degree  of  B.  P.  is  designed 
for  those  students  who  are  intended  for  the  pursuits  of  active  life. 

The  annual  Commencement  is  on  the  first  Wednesday  of  September.  There 
are  two  terms  in  the  year,  each  continuing  twenty  weeks.  The  number  of 
students  in  1851-2  was  225.  The  whole  number  of  persons  graduated  at  this 
I  Diversity  is  1784,  of  whom  177  have  been  ordained  as  Ministers  uf  the  Gospel. 

The  members  of  the  Faculty,  and  other  officers,  areas  follows  :

FURMAN  UNIVERSITY,  GREENVILLE. 

From  the  minutes  of  the  State  Convention  we  learn  that  this  institution  has 
been  removed  from  its  former  location  to  Greenville  Court  House.  Agents 
were  appointed  in  June,  1849,  to  collect  the  sum  of  870,000  for  its  establishment 
and  endowment  in  the  new  location.  In  June,  1850,  the  agents  reported  that 
§30,000  had  been  secured,  and  that  it  was  their  firm  conviction  that  the  whole 
amount  could  be  raised.  The  agencies  were  continued  for  that  purpose.  We 
have  not  been  able  to  obtain  the  minutes  of  the  State  Convention  for  1851,  nor 
any  reports,  catalogues,  or  statements  in  relation  to  the  present  condition 
of  the  institution.  From  incidental  notices  we  learn  that  the  following  gentlemen

TEXAS. 
BAYLOR  UNIVERSITY,  INDEPENDENCE, 

BY   REV.    R.    C.    BURLESON. 

This  institution  is  under  the  control  of  the  Texas  Baptist  State  Convention — 
its  affairs  being  directed  by  a  Board  of  Trustees  elected  by  that  body.  It  was 
originated  chiefly  through  the  instrumentality  of  the  lamented  William  Tryon, 
one  of  the  earliest  missionaries  to  Texas.  It  bears  the  name  of  the  Son.  and 
Rev.  R.  E.  B.  Baylor,  formerly  a  Congressman  from  Alabama,  and  for  many 
years  an  eloquent  Baptist  preacher,  a  distinguished  Judge,  and  a  very  liberal 
supporter  of  the  Institution. 

Independence,  the  location  of  the  University,  is  a  quiet  and  healthy  village  in 
a  wealthy  and  central  portion  of  Texas,  immediately  on  the  great 
from  Houston  to  the  city  of  Austin.    The  surrounding  Boenery  is  pleasantly  di- 
versified with  hills,  valleys,  and  beautiful  groves  el' "live 


EDUCATIONAL   INSTITUTIONS.  449 

The  Institution  is  yet  in  its  infancy,  and  has  all  the  difficulties  of  a  new  State 
and  unsettled  society  to  contend  against ;  yet  it  is  free  from  debt,  and  has  two 
good  buildings,  a  fine  apparatus,  and  a  small  commencement  for  a  library. 
About  $10,000  has  been  raised  towards  the  endowment  of  the  Presidency,  and 
the  whole  property  of  the  Institution  is  worth  about  $30,000.  The  financial 
affairs  have  been,  and  are  still,  conducted  by  the  Rev.  James  Huckins,  with 
great  ability  and  untiring  energy. 

The  number  of  students  last  session  was  117. 

As  yet  the  male  and  female  departments  are  under  the  supervision  of  the 
President  and  Board  of  Trustees.  But  as  soon  as  the  country  becomes  more 
developed,  an  entirely  distinct  organization  is  contemplated.

In  the  present  political  condition  of  the  Island,  and  yet  but  par- 
tially organized  state  of  the  churches,  these  statistics  do  not  purport 
to  be  accurate,  but  they  are  the  estimates  of  one  familiar  with  all 
the  stations. 

The  following  are  the  statistics  of  the  remaining  Islands  returned 
in  1849 — corrected  as  far  as  practicable  by  more  recent  reports.

ENGLAND 

The  following  Tables,  from  the  English  Baptist  Manual  of  1852, 
exhibit  the  number  of  members  in  1391  churches  of  England, 
"Wales,  and  Ireland.  The  whole  number  of  churches  is  1895. 
There  are  therefore  504  churches  from  which  we  have  no  returns. 
Estimating  the  number  of  members  in  these  504  churches,  in  the  same 
ratio  as  in  the  churches  reporting — the  grand  total  will  be  190,000.

OLD  SCHOOL  OR  ANTI-MISSION  BAPTIST  ASSOCIATIONS. 


These  Churches  are  distinguished  from  the  regular  Baptist 
Churches — mainly  by  their  formal  opposition  to  all  voluntary  be- 
nevolent Associations.  They  are  generally,  in  doctrine,  ultra 
Calvinistic,  are  opposed  to  the  Academical  or  Theological  educa- 
tion of  their  Ministry,  and  have  renounced  the  fellowship  of  the 
great  body  of  the  denomination,  who  theoretically  favor  Missionary. 
Bible,  Publication,  Education,  and  other  voluntary  Societies  for  the 
dissemination  of  truth,  and  the  social  and  spiritual  welfare  of  man- 
kind. These  Churches  are  gradually  diminishing  in  influence  and 
numbers.  The  following  Statistics  are  as  full  and  accurate  as  we 
could  make  from  the  materials  we  have  been  able  to  gather.  Probably 
some  of  the  Associations  we  have  given  are  extinct,  and  there  may 
be  a  few  other  Associations  of  which  we  have  no  information.  "We  shall 
be  obliged  to  any  of  our  friends  who  will  furnish  materials  for  cor- 
recting these  tables  in  our  next  volume.

THE   SEVENTH-DAY  BAPTISTS 

BY    REV.    G.    B.   UTTER,     NEW   YORK. 


The  Seventh-day  Baptists  are  distinguished  from  the  Regular  Baptists  mainly 
by  the  views  which  they  hold  on  the  subject  of  the  Sabbath.  In  respect  to  this 
they  believe — 1st.  That  the  Seventh  Day  of  the  Week  was  sanctified  and 
blessed  for  the  Sabbath  in  Paradise,  and  was  designed  for  all  mankind ;  2d. 
That  it  forms  a  necessary  part  of  the  Ten  Commandments,  which  are  immutable 
in  their  nature,  and  universally  binding ;  3d.  That  no  change  as  to  the  day  of 
the  Sabbath  was  made  by  Divine  Authority,  at  the  introduction  of  Christianity  ; 
4th.  That  those  passages  in  the  New  Testament  which  speak  of  the  First  Day 
of  the  Week,  do  not  imply,  either  the  substitution  of  that  day  for  the  Seventh 
as  the  Sabbath,  or  its  appointment  as  a  day  of  religious  worship ;  5th.  That 
whatever  respect  the  early  Christians  paid  to  the  First  Day  of  the  Week,  on  the 
supposition  of  its  being  the  day  of  Christ's  resurrection,  yet  they  never  regarded 
it  as  the  Sabbath,  but  continued  to  observe  the  Seventh  Day  in  that  character 
until,  by  the  edicts  of  Emperors  and  the  decrees  of  Councils,  the  First  Day  was 
made  gradually  to  supersede  it;  6th.  That,  finally,  the  Seventh  Day  of  the 
Week,  and  not  the  First,  ought  now  to  be  observed  as  the  Sabbath  of  the  Lord 
our  God. 

Notices  of  people  holding  these  sentiments  are  frequent  in  the  history  of  the 
first  six  centuries  of  the  Christian  Church  ;  and  even  during  that  dark  period 
which  intervened  between  the  establishment  of  Papal  dominion  and  the  dawn- 
ing of  the  Reformation,  occasional  traces  of  them  appear.  In  the  seventh 
century,  while  Pope  Gregory  I.  was  in  authority,  the  subject  of  the  Sabbath 
was  much  discussed  ;  and  among  the  disputants  there  was  a  class  of  persons 
who  declared,  "  that  it  was  not  lawful  to  do  any  manner  of  work  on  the  Saturday, 
or  the  old  Sabbath."  In  the  eleventh  century,  while  Gregory  VII.  occupied  the 
papal  chair,  the  same  doctrine  was  preached.  In  the  twelfth  century,  also, 
there  was  a  large  and  influential  community  of  Christians  in  Lombardy  who 
kept  the  Seventh  Day  as  the  Sabbath. 

The  Reformation  seems  to  have  introduced  a  new  era  in  the  history  of 
Sabbath-keepers.  In  Germany,  in  the  early  part  of  the  sixteenth  century, 
Baptists  who  kept  the  Seventh  Day  were  quite  common.  In  England,  they 
made  their  appearance  in  the  beginning  of  the  seventeeth  century ;  although  in 
consequence  of  the  unsettled  state  of  the  country,  they  did  not  begin  to  organize 
churches  until  about  1650.  Within  fifty  years  of  that  period,  however,  there 
were  eleven  Sabbatarian  Churches  in  England,  besides  many  scattered  Sabbath- 
keepers,  in  different  parts  of  the  kingdom.  Eight  of  the  eleven  have  now  be- 
come extinct.  Of  the  three  which  remain,  two  are  in  London,  and  one  is  at 
Natton,  near  Tewkesbury.  The  Sabbatarians  of  England  enjoyed  the  minis- 
trations of  some  of  the  most  distinguished  Dissenters  of  their  time — among 
whom  mention  should  be  made  of  Francis  Bampfield,  the  founder  of  the  Crip- 
plegate  Church  in  London ;  Edward  Stennett,  the  ancestor  of  the  famous 
Stennett  family ;  Joseph  Stennett,  the  author  of  that  unanswerable  reply  to 
Russen's  "  Fundamentals  without  a  Foundation,  or  a  true  Picture  of  the  Ana- 
baptists ;"  Joseph  Stennett,  D.  D.,  and  Samuel  Stennett,  D.  D.,  of  the  Little 
Wild  Street  Baptist  Church,  London. 

In  America,  Seventh-day  Baptists  made  their  appearance  in  the  latter  part  of 
the  seventeenth  century.  The  first  church  was  organized  at  Newport,  R.  I.,  in 
1671,  "while  as  yet  there  were  but  six  societies  of  Regular  Baptists  on  the 

62  489

Western  Continent."  For  several  years  this  church  included  in  its  membership 
nearly  all  observers  of  the  Seventh-day  Sabbath  residing  in  the  States  of  Rhode 
Island  and  Connecticut ;  and  for  the  accommodation  of  the  widely-scattered 
members,  the  pastors  were  accustomed  to  hold  stated  meetings  at  several  distant 
places.  A  church  was  organized  at  Hopkinton,  R.  I.,  in  1708,  and  one  at 
Waterford,  Ct.,  in  1784.  There  are  now  eight  churches  in  Rhode  Island  and 
two  in  Connecticut. 

In  New  Jersey,  the  first  Seventh-day  Baptist  Church  was  organized  at  Pis- 
cataway,  about  thirty  miles  from  New  York  City,  in  1705.  From  this  church 
sprang  one  at  Shiloh,  N.  J.,  about  forty  miles  south-west  of  Philadelphia, 
which  was  organized  in  1737.  At  present  there  are  four  Seventh-day  Baptist 
Churches  in  New  Jersey,  located  at  Piscataway  in  Middlesex  Co.,  Plainfield  in 
Essex  Co.,  Shiloh  in  Cumberland  Co.,  and  Marlboro  in  Salem  Co. 

Other  churches  there  are,  many  of  them  of  recent  origin,  scattered  over  the 
South  and  West.  There  are  four  in  Pennsylvania,  four  in  Virginia,  five  in  Ohio, 
five  in  Wisconsin,  one  in  Illinois,  one  in  Indiana,  and  one  in  Iowa.  Besides 
these,  there  are  numerous  small  societies  of  Sabbath-keepers,  who  are  accus- 
tomed to  meet  weekly  for  prayer  and  conference,  but  who  have  not  yet  been 
organized  into  regular  churches. 

A  Yearly  Meeting  of  the  Seventh  day  Baptists  in  America,  was  established 
at  a  very  early  period,  and  from  it  originated  the  Seventh-day  Baptist  General 
Conference — a  body  which  held  its  meetings  annually  from  1805  to  1846,  when 
it  was  agreed  that  the  meetings  should  henceforth  be  held  triennially. 

The  Seventh-day,  Baptist  Denomination  was  divided  into  Associations  in 
1835.     There  are  now  six  Associations,  each  holding  an  annual  meeting. 

The  Seventh-day  Baptist  Missionary  Society  was  organized  in  1842 ;  its 
object  being  to  disseminate  the  Gospel  at  home  and  abroad.  In  carrying  out 
this  object,  it  has  employed  men  from  time  to  time  to  labor  with  the  feeble 
churches  in  this  country,  and  to  preach  to  the  destitute  wherever  an  opportu- 
nity should  offer.  It  has  also  sent  two  missionaries  with  their  wives  to  preach 
Christ  among  the  heathen.  They  are  stationed  at  Shanghae,  China,  where 
they  have  built  a  chapel  and  a  dwelling-house,  and  organized  a  church.  The 
receipts  of  the  Society  for  the  year  ending  Sept.  12,  1851,  were  $5,396  17. 

The  American  Sabbath  Tract  Society  was  organized  in  1843.  Its  object  is 
"  to  promote  the  scriptural  observance  of  the  Sabbath,  in  connection  with  the 
interests  of  vital  godliness  and  sound  morality,  by  the  circulation  of  religious 
tracts,  and  the  employment  of  colporteurs  and  lecturers."  It  has  now  a  series 
of  fifteen  stereotyped  tracts,  of  which  editions  are  published  according  t<>  the 
means  and  demands  of  the  Society.  Besides  these,  it  has  several  publications 
not  connected  with  the  series,  but  all  relating  to  the  subject  of  the  Sabbath. 
Its  Depository  is  kept  at  No.  9  Spruce-st.,  New  York. 

The  Seventh-day  Baptist  Publishing  Society  was  organized  in  1849,  for 
the  purpose  of  giving  permanence  to  the  periodical  publications  of  the  denomi- 
nation. It  now  issues  a  weekly  paper  called  The  Sabbath  Recorder,  a  monthly 
called  The  Sabbath- School  Visitor,  and  a  quarterly  magazine  of  history,  bio- 
graphy, and  statistics,  called  The  Seventh-day  Baptist  Memorial.  The  office  of 
the  Society  is  at  No.  9  Spruce-st.,  New  York. 

The  Seventh-day  Baptists  have  two  Literary  Institutions,  designed  to  fur- 
nish the  means  of  securing  a  thorough  education.  One  of  them,  called  the 
DeRuyter  Institute,  is  located  at  DeRuyter,  Madison  Co.,  N.  Y.,  ami  was 
founded  in  1837,  at  an  expense  of  between  twenty  and  thirty  thousand  dollars. 
The  other  is  located  at  Alfred,  Alleghany  Co.,  N.  Y.,  and  called  the  Alfred 
Academy  and  Teachers'  Seminary.  They  have  also  several  smaller  academies, 
one  of  which  is  located  at  Shiloh,  Cumberland  Co.,  N.  J.,  and  another  at  Milton, 
Rock  Co.,  Wisconsin.
